<abstract>Indiaand#39;s agroforestry scenario shows significant untapped potential, with current coverage around 28 million hectares (about 8-9% of land), far below the high-potential area (around 75.6 million hectares) and global averages, despite traditional practices and the 2014 National Agroforestry Policy aiming to boost it. While itand#39;s a vital source for timber and improves soil/microclimate, complex regulations on timber transport and felling, lack of quality seedlings, and policy gaps hinder its growth, leading to timber imports, though adoption is increasing.</abstract>
