Agriculture world over is facing diverse challenges and constraints due to growing demographic pressure, increasing food, feed, pulp, fodder and timber needs, natural resource degradation and climate change. Diversification of land use with agroforestry as a component can address some of these challenges. In fact agroforestry, forest conservation, restoration of ecosystems and their services, and improved, sustainable land management are central efforts under the Paris Agreement (2015) to address climate change. The paper discusses the emerging aspects in agroforestry in the Asia and Africa region.
