    Agroforestry involves growing trees and agricultural crops together. It is practiced in Nepal to meet fuelwood, fodder, and timber needs and protect the environment from degradation. There are two main types: farm-based systems like home gardens and woodlots; and forest-based systems like taungya cultivation. Farm-based systems fulfill immediate owner needs while forest-based systems are used to preserve natural forests. Common tree species planted vary by physiographic zone, from Albizia and Artocarpus in the Terai to Juglans and Populus in the high mountains. The economic goals of agroforestry are to increase income, improve environmental services, and reduce risks.

    Agroforestry: A practice of raising both tree and agricultural crops simultaneously in a given space and
    time.Theaim of developing agroforestry in Nepal is to meet the present and future requirements
    fuelwood, fodder, small timber and to protect against environmental degradation.

    There are two types of agroforestry system adopted in Nepal.

    A) Farm based agroforestry system


    - Home garden: It is a multistoried agroforestry system. It is a system to fulfill owner's immediate
    needs.
    - Woodlot: In Nepal, natural woodlots are mechanism for preserving natural forests in upper
    ridge, ridge tops and along the stream banks of sub-watershed in the hills.
    - Intercropping with horticultural crops: More prevalent in the terai.Spacing: 5-6 meters.
    - Silvofishery system: Also prevalent in the terai.Tree spps+ fish farming
    B) Forest based agroforestry system
    - Taungya system: It is started from Myanmar(Burma). In Nepal, Taungya was started in
    1972from Tamagadiof Bara district. 2m*4m spacing is adopted in Taungya system.
     Shifting cultivation : It is practiced in the midhill and high mountain physiograhic zones of the
    country, often on very steep slopes which also known as hill cultivation.Rptation cycles have
    been less than five years in many places. This has prevented regeneration of many valueable
    plant species and resulted in site deterioration.
