It is the practice of forestry for raising trees and fodder grass with scattered fodder trees, fruit trees and fuel wood trees on suitable wastelands, Panchayat lands and common land of village. Mixed forestry means an intensive land management system that optimizes the benefits from biological interactions created when trees, plants, herbs and shrubs are deliberately combined to enrich biodiversity. It embraces a land use land management system that optimizes the benefits from the biological interactions created when variety of trees management system in which trees or shrubs are grown on a patch of land/mountain or pastureland. It combines shrubs and trees in agricultural and forestry technologies to create more diverse, productive, profitable, healthy, and sustainable land-use systems.
Scientific base for
mixed forestry comes from ecology, via agro ecology. From this perspective, mixed forestry is one of the three principal
land-use science and other two are agriculture and
forestry. Mixed forestry has
a lot in common with agro forestry. Both have two or more plant
species (such as nitrogen-fixing plants) in close interaction
both provide multiple outputs, as a consequence, higher overall yields and,
because a single application or input is shared, costs are reduced
