Intercropped plantation and doubling of farmer’s income

Agroforestry is a sustainable land use agricultural practice which combines growing trees and agricultural crops including Medicinal and Aromatic plants and other Non-timber Forest Products on the same piece of land at the same time. Intercropped plantation is a similar practice that involves planting different types of agricultural of crops together in the same field. An intercropped plantation system is increasingly being recognised as an effective way to promote sustainable agriculture.

Intercropped plantations have the potential to significantly increase a farmer’s income through enhanced productivity and diversified revenue streams.

This online conference's goals are to analyse and discuss the current state of knowledge on the intercropped plantation and its role in doubling of farmer’s income both at the conceptual and practical levels:

• How intercropped plantation helps in sustainable agriculture?
• How does it affect the farmer’s profit?
• What are the future prospects for this intercropped plantation?
• What role does it play in climate resilience?

This online conference is expected to present various existing practices of agroforestry throughout the world and look for the possibility of intercropped plantation that would double farmer’s income. Each presenter will have 10-minute’ time for their presentation and 5-minute discussion.
