Non-Timber Agro Products
Non-timber agro products are agricultural goods derived from plants and trees without harvesting the wood. These products include fruits, nuts, medicinal plants, mushrooms, honey, and resins, all of which offer alternative income sources for farmers. Non-timber products are an integral part of agroforestry systems, promoting biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem services such as soil fertility and carbon sequestration. These products often require less investment than traditional crops and can be cultivated alongside agricultural crops, offering farmers diversified income streams. By focusing on non-timber agro products, farmers can increase their economic resilience, contribute to sustainable farming practices, and reduce pressure on forest ecosystems.
