USDA Generates a new Concept of Agro Forestry

Perhaps no one could imagine about the agriculture forestry. Had any one imagine about the agriculture forestry? Did anyone of us expect that people earn far more in Agra forestry?

Agro forestry seems a word designed for the benefit of both agriculture and forest. It is the term, which is defined as a unique land management approach of working trees. Agro forestry technologies if used appropriately it can help in environmental, economic, and social benefits. Agro forestry deals with different aspects such as reduces input of energy and chemicals, improve

water quality, increase productivity. Along with this reconnects agriculture, people and communities. Agro forestry is seen more advantageous over the conventional method of agriculture and forestry and is being more familiar with the people nowadays.

As, Agra forestry has been implemented by the farmers of the United States where USDA has provided the different facilities for the shake of development of agriculture in the United States. USDA conducts even hundreds of research activities.

Agro forestry is also the process to manage the farmland with protection for topsoil and wildlife. Recently, from 2011-2016, a five years program for the development of Agra forests USAD has design a general economic planning. Here are the economic models of agriculture forestry are general resources planning, economic planning, crop, energy, headquarters, irrigation, wildlife, watershed protection etc.

Even USDA is continuously organizing several kinds of program that supports Agra forestry in the United States. For instances healthy forestry initiative is one of the program, which helps reducing the risk of catastrophic fire. This program also provides for more timely responses to disease and insect infestations that threaten to devastate forests.

Research has been part of the Forest Service mission since the agency's inception in 1905 USAD. According to USDA, “today, some 500-plus Forest Service researchers work in a range of biological, physical, and social science fields to promote sustainable management of Nation's diverse forests and rangelands”. Their research covers a lot of territory, with programs in all 50 states, U.S. territories, and commonwealths. The federal government may fund up to 75% of project costs, with at least 25% coming from private, State or local sources for agro forestry. In addition to gains associated with the sale or donation of property rights, many landowners also benefit from reduced taxes associated with limits placed on land use.

Approximately forty-five percent of all forestland in the United States, or 354 million acres is under nonindustrial

private ownership, contributing significantly to America's clean water and air, wildlife habitat, recreational resources and timber supplies. By the help of USDA owners are encouraged and enable active long-term forest management. USDA also provides technical assistance, through State forestry agency partners, to nonindustrial private forest owners to encourage and enable active long-term forest management. A primary focus of the Program is the development of comprehensive, multi-resource management plans that provide landowners with the information they need to manage their forests for a variety of products and services.

Overall USDA main goal to focus on Agro Forestry is to increase the use of agro forestry by landowners and communities, advance the understanding of tool and application for agro forestry, and incorporate agro forestry into all lands approach to conservation and economic development.
