N2  - Agroforestry has potential advantages for the rural poors of  Nepal. It includes agricultural crops, livestock , farm trees and  s mall rural enterprises based on local resources.  The food production in t he area is lower than consumption . On the  other h a nd, farmers have to meet their daily expenses from the  same limited farm produce . Thus the research h as linked some of  the income generation activities to the Hill agroforestry  systems. In addition, the research has also developed some of  the agroforestry practices for rural development.  Fodder and firewood demand is increasing with ever increasing  population, whereas, their avail ability is decreasing . It is  suggested t o the rural farmers to grow a number of trees on  marginal land with some biennial crops like cardamom , and  rhizomes . So, the emphasis of agroforestry on marginal l ands will  reduce the pressure on private l and and forest .  Thus , the agroforestry practices will increase f arm productivity  and minimize the dependency on the already degraded existing  forest for fuel and fodder . Hence , the research on agroforestry  should be carried out, on priority basis, to save the existing  local resources for the rural development in the Middle hills of  Nepal
