CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Circular Economy of Poplar-based Agroforestry in India

Exporter la citation

Poplar (P. deltoides), in India, is one of the ideal trees for integration with crop production in agroforestry and is grown in one of the most fertile agriculture land of Northwestern India. The tree supports numerous wood based industrial units with supply of wood raw material around its production locations and elsewhere. This symbiotic synergy between its land-use production systems and industrial manufacturing process is now mature and numerous economical activities are happening around the tree. This paper captures the circular economy around its nursery & plantation production and wood processing. Its nursery production is now revolutionized with mini cuttings which are made from the shoots collected from nursery grown saplings and is adding significant value with this new propagation material which earlier was a waste. Similarly, a huge economic activity is happening around its plantation production system right from planting saplings to their tending, harvesting and transportation of wood from fields to factory gates and during its further processing for manufacturing commercially important products. Improved nursery production from shoots is estimated to save Rs. 20 crores/annum. The current valuation of its wood trade is estimated to be Rs. 15225 million. Carbon trading of tree based production systems has started happening in India and there is a possibility of Carbon trade happening in future with a potential gain of Rs. 1530 million from poplar based agroforestry.
