National agroforestry policy design and implementation in India and beyond

Agroforestry is immensely beneficial, yet unfavorable national policies hamper realization of its full socioeconomic and environmental benefit potential. India implemented the world’s first National Agroforestry Policy (NAP) in 2014(1). Besides assisting in policy formulation, World Agroforestry (also called ICRAF) continues to be part of the high level Inter-Ministerial Committee overseeing policy implementation. The latter has: led to the establishment of a sub-mission on agroforestry with a $146.3 million allocation to facilitate NAP implementation; removed bottlenecks on growing, felling and transporting 650 agroforestry species in 25 Indian states; facilitated upgrading of a national research institute of agroforestry*; and creation of a national bamboo mission with a $197 million allocation.
