About the Book
In recent years, agroforestry has emerged as a critical practice for ensuring sustained productivity in arid regions. This volume highlights the increasing importance of agroforestry for the efficient utilization of land and water resources, meeting the growing demands for grain, fuelwood, and fodder, and combating environmental degradation.

The book is divided into 23 comprehensive chapters, each focusing on key aspects of agroforestry in arid regions. Topics covered include soil and climatic conditions, nutrient and water relations, the development of improved genotypes of trees and grasses, pest management, and the socio-economic factors influencing agroforestry practices.

Furthermore, the book delves into the transfer of technology to ensure the long-term sustainability of agroforestry systems, with an emphasis on practical solutions for arid and semi-arid landscapes. It provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers aiming to improve the resilience and productivity of arid regions through agroforestry practices.
