There is no doubt that Agroforestry can be an environmentally sound and economically feasible means of developing and protecting marginal and ecologically fragile lartds. Agroforestry, however, is a highly com-plex and multi-dsciplinary approach to land use and should not be un-dertaken unless there is an adequate understanding of the cultural, economic and environmental interactions common to mixed farming systems. Half-baked or haphazard land management can lead to serious environmental and economic repercussions. it is therefore critical to embark on Agroforestry projects in a well thought manner keeping all the various inter-relationships in mind during planning, implementa-tion and management phases.
