Résumé

This National Agroforestry Policy is a nationwide sectoral document aiming at (i) setting up a National Agroforestry Mission (or an Agroforestry Board) to implement the National Policy coordinating among various elements of agroforestry; (ii) improving the productivity, as well as employment, income and livelihood opportunities of rural households, especially of the smallholder farmers through agroforestry; (iii) meeting the ever-increasing demand of timber, food, fuel, fodder, fertilizer, fiber, and other agroforestry products; (iv) conserving the natural resources and forest; (v) protecting the environment and providing environmental security; and (vii) increasing the forest and tree cover from outside the natural forests. These goals can be reached through the following strategic objectives (i) encourage and expand tree plantation in complementarity and integrated manner with crops and livestock; (ii) protect and stabilize ecosystems, and promote resilient cropping and farming systems to minimize the risk during extreme climatic events; (iii) meet the raw material requirements of wood based industries and reduce import of wood and wood products; (iv) supplement the availability of agroforestry products (AFPs) reducing the pressure on existing forests; (v) promote ecological stability, especially in the vulnerable regions; (vi) develop capacity and strengthen research in agroforestry.
