Nestled in the vibrant hills of Northeast India, Nagaland is a land of rich culture, biodiversity, and abundant natural resources.
The state’s traditional farming practices, deeply rooted in tribal heritage, have sustained its people for centuries. However, increasing deforestation, soil erosion, and shifting agricultural patterns now pose significant challenges to the ecological balance and livelihoods in the region.
Enter agroforestry, a sustainable solution that blends traditional knowledge with modern practices, offering economic resilience, environmental conservation, and community empowerment.
This article explores the significance of agroforestry in Nagaland, its environmental and economic impacts, historical roots, and the role of Grow Billion Trees in promoting and executing agroforestry projects to rejuvenate the region’s ecosystems and livelihoods.
