Agroforestry

Planting fruit, timber, and medicinal trees on active farm plots.

Integrating trees with farming creates positive ecological interactions that improve land resilience, increase productivity, and boost biodiversity. This time-tested approach is being rediscovered today to address resource conservation and habitat restoration. By blending agriculture with forestry, it stands as a powerful, practical solution that benefits crops, people, and the planet.

Krushi Bharath Foundation works with local implementation partners, farmers, and communities to cultivate tree species native to Karnataka’s diverse agro-climatic zones. These include fruit-bearing, timber, and medicinal trees that support both ecological restoration and sustainable rural livelihoods.

Through its RRR-focused (Restoration, Revegetation & Regeneration) initiatives across multiple Indian states, Krushi Bharath Foundation collaborates with communities to plant and monitor diverse tree species such as Cashew, Guava, Pomegranate, Mango, Moringa, Sandalwood, Sweet Lime, Sweet Orange, Tamarind, and Teak. These efforts help restore degraded landscapes, improve biodiversity, strengthen soil health, and create long-term environmental and economic benefits for local communities.

As a response to climate and resource challenges, agroforestry rediscovers the ancient wisdom of growing trees, crops, and animals together. This climate-resilient approach protects soil, recharges water, and secures livelihoods. Ultimately, it bridges the gap between traditional land stewardship and future environmental restoration.

Growing fodder trees and native grasses on dry community grazing lands.

Integrating livestock, forage production, and forestry on the same land parcel. It offers multiple benefits to livestock, including shade, increased feed sources and decreased reliance on hay, increased farm revenue from added crops (fruits and nuts). It increases animal average daily gains, improved animal health, carbon sequestration, and better wildlife habitat.
