Sustaining agricultural productivity depends on quality and availability of natural resources like soil and water. Agricultural growth can be sustained by promoting conservation and sustainable use of these scarce natural resources through appropriate location specific measures.
Agriculture in the Country remains predominantly rainfed and accounts for about 40% of the total food production. Thus, conservation of natural resources in conjunction with development of rainfed agriculture holds the key to meet burgeoning demands for food grain in the country.

4.
Change in weather pattern, long dry spells, deficit rainfall, change in onset and withdrawal of monsoon has always affected adversely the agriculture production and the farmers
The frequency of droughts has been increasing in the recent past causing regular agrarian crisis, requiring special attention and support for a durable & sustainable solution.
Provision of water as live saving irrigation and adoption of integrated farming systems including agroforestry are among the most effective adaptability measure to minimise this risk.

5. Rainfed Area Development (RAD)
Rainfed Area Development (RAD)
The major strategy in implementing RAD is promoting Integrated Farming System for enhancing livelihood opportunities, ensuring food security and minimizing risks from crop failure through supplementary/ residual production systems.
Under this system, crops/cropping system is integrated with activities like horticulture, livestock, fishery, agro-forestry, apiculture etc. to enable farmers not only in maximizing farm returns for sustaining livelihood, but also to mitigate the impacts of drought, flood or other extreme weather events with the income opportunity from allied activities during crop damage.

6. Integrated Farming System (IFS)
Integrated Farming System (IFS)
IFS focuses on multi-cropping, rotational cropping, inter-cropping, mixed cropping practices with allied activities like horticulture, Livestock, fishery, apiculture etc.
IFS practices rely upon the concept of conservation agriculture to ensure minimum soil disturbance by adopting minimum tillage, use of crop residues on soil surface and adoption of spatial and temporal crop sequencing/crop rotations to derive optimal benefits from inputs and at the same time, minimize adverse environmental impacts.
Depending on the type and extent of natural resources/assets/commodities already developed or supported, location-specific crops, fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers, feed & fodder, livestock, fisheries, apiculture, mushroom, medicinal & aromatic plantation and related income generating activities are being supported.

7. Integrated Farming System (IFS) - Benefits
Integrated Farming System (IFS) - Benefits
Increasing agricultural productivity of rainfed areas in a sustainable manner
To minimize the adverse impact of possible crop failure due to extreme climatic events through income from other interventions of farming system
Restoration of confidence in rainfed agriculture by creating sustained employment opportunities through improved on-farm technologies and cultivation practices.
Enhancement of farmers income and livelihood support for reduction of poverty in rainfed areas.

Agroforestry Policy, 2014
DAC&FW formulated National Agroforestry Policy-approved by Cabinet in Policy laid on floor of the both Houses of Parliament in , which aims:
National coordination, convergence, synergy and facilitation of agroforestry scaling up
Relaxations in on-farm grown tree felling and transit regulations
Mainstreaming agroforestry in all agricultural policies and strategies
Standards for production, certification and supply of planting material
Land tenure, loans and insurance for agroforestry
Investments in agroforestry research, extension and capacity building
Inclusion of agroforestry among qualified items for CSR support
Profiling agroforestry for carbon sequestration, environmental services, INDCs, etc.
Policy envisages setting up a National Agroforestry Mission or an Agroforestry Board

14. Sub-Mission on Agroforestry-Objectives
Sub-Mission on Agroforestry-Objectives
To encourage and expand tree plantation in farm land
To ensure availability of quality planting material like seeds, seedlings, clones, hybrids, improved varieties, etc.
To popularise various Agroforestry practices/models
To create database, information and knowledge support in the area of agroforestry.
To provide extension and capacity building support to agroforestry sector.

15.
Interventions
Nursery Development for quality planting material(NDQPM) : Small, big & hi-tech nurseries
Peripheral and Boundary Plantation(PBP) : Medh per Pedh
Low Density Plantation on Farm Lands(LDPFL) : 100 to 500 plants/ha (Strips/ Staggered)
High Density Block Plantation (HDBP): 500 to 1500 plants/ha (Blocks/intermediate blocks)
Capacity Building & Trainings: Skill development, awareness campaign, Publications, Information sharing, exposure visits, seminars/Workshops
Demonstration of Agroforestry Models: Demonstration to bridge the yield gap and innovative agroforestry models

16. Expected Outcome Additional area to be brought under plantation
Expected Outcome
Additional area to be brought under plantation
Agroforestry will provide additional income/savings to farmers
Serve as cushion to crop damage due to extreme climatic events
Tree cover will lead to higher carbon sequestration and compliment the National initiatives on climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.
Trees in farm land will help in enriching soil organic matter
Enhance nutrient uptake of the crops
Contribute in availability of agroforestry produce to meet the increasing demand of raw materials for wood based industries
Saving of foreign exchange on import of wood and wood based products.
Development of information system and database on agroforestry.
