The Agroforestry: A transformative solution mobile App is a user-friendly, e-platform to have basic information on agroforestry, which is derived from ecology and is one of the three principal land-use sciences, the other two being agriculture and forestry.
Agroforestry differs from the latter two principals by placing an emphasis on integration of and interactions among a combination of elements rather than just focussing on each element individually.
Agroforestry has a lot in common with intercropping (the practice of planting two or more crops on the same plot) with both practices placing an emphasis on interaction between different plant species. Generally speaking, both agrofrestry and intercropping can result in higher overall yields and reduced operational costs. It is a flexible concept, involving both small and large-sized land holdings.
This App covers various aspects like definition, why agroforestry, key traits, Benefits of agroforestry, important aspects of management, classification of agroforestry, multifunctional system, recommended trees for agroforestry, future of agroforestry, Institutes involved in agroforestry and some original photograph in gallery. I hope this application will be more useful for forestry professionals, environmentalists, researchers, Government department officials, Extension workers, students and farmers. In future we will include more information and other components to make this App more robust and adequate.
