Abstract | This paper focuses on the prospects for farm forestry on rainfed versus irrigated farms in Pakistan. Farmers who have done the most tree planting in the past are those with mixed rainfed/irrigated lands. However, the number one problem in cultivating trees is the tree-crop competition. The report concludes that farm forestry should focus on the problems of concern to the farmers themselves. |
