Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental advantages of implementing agroforestry in the Garhkundar-Dabar (GKD) watershed through a focus group of households. Agroforestry is the term used to describe a group of land-use systems where woody perennials (trees, shrubs, etc.) are grown alongside herbaceous plants (crops, pastures) or livestock, either in a spatial arrangement, a rotation, or both; these interactions are typically both ecological and commercial. Understanding the effects of agroforestry on the ecosystem in the Garhkundar-Dabar watershed in central India is the primary goal of this project. The benefits to the environment, farmers' desire, reduced runoff, increased soil fertility, and study area climate change are all interpreted in this study.
