This edited book brings out comprehensive insights on agro-forestry systems to cope up climate change globally. The main essence of this book is to unfurl the positive sides of agri-silvipastoral system to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) and temperature. Agro-forestry can be defined as the farming practice combining field crops, perennial trees and livestock. The impact of agro-forestry on ecology is implacable which is thoroughly discussed under different heads in this book. In addition, the book is bundle of different novel sections including tables, graphical representation, and figures showcasing the bright side of agro-forestry system. Furthermore, trees which are important component of boosting socio-economic conditions, especially for the indigenous populations have also been discussed meticulously. Hence, all together this book deciphers an account of agro-forestry practices in society and environment along with the major pros- and cons- of the system. Undoubtedly, this information could enrich the scholarly knowledge for graduate research fellows, teachers, scientists, researchers, and environmentalists in gaining multifaceted information of agro-forestry system in both ecological and economical aspects. Different research highlights will be helpful for the policy makers to implement this novel practice in intensive production systems and harness the maximum benefits out of this.

Soil fertility and nutrient management influence agricultural productivity, and hence food security and livelihoods problems are occurring, simultaneously. The inherent fertility of many soils is low because of their clay and organic matter content. Sometimes the nutrients are also exhausted due to continues cropping systems without restitution of nutrients in soil. At present Indian soil are facing not only macro nutrients deficiency but also micro nutrients deficiency are occurring frequently in different pockets. The low nutrient status of soils, and the loss of organic matter (through continuous cropping, burning and overgrazing) and nutrients (erosion and leaching), are key issues. Farming systems, especially combinations of crops and livestock, also influence management options. Replacing multiple crops with monocropping may raise demand for external inputs and increase pressure on the soil.Governments have promoted agroforestry, green manures and legumes, but these succeed only in some situations. So it¿s essential to develop some basic and sustainable practice to maintain fertility status of soil for a long time without disturbing the soil nutrient inherent capacity
