Agroforestry in Andhra Pradesh: Blending Agriculture and Forestry for growth
Andhra Pradesh has had a deep connection with trees and agriculture. Traditional farming systems incorporated trees like Neem (Azadirachta indica), Tamarind (Tamarindus indica), and Mango (Mangifera indica), providing shade, fodder, and additional income.
Tribal communities in the Eastern Ghats practiced shifting cultivation and agroforestry, integrating fruit trees, medicinal plants, and food crops.
