Agro-forestry is an integrated approach of leveraging interactive benefits from combining agricultural and forestry technologies. It helps to create more diverse, productive, healthy and sustainable land-use systems. Abellon Agrisciences has undertaken agro-forestry as a mainstream activity with a view to promote sustainable land use.

To successfully implement agro-forestry projects, Abellon Agrisciences follows various models to cultivate biomass-driven energy crops along with traditional agricultural crops.

Captive or Dedicated Farming

Agro-forestry is an integrated approach of leveraging interactive benefits from combining agricultural and forestry technologies. It helps to create more diverse, productive, healthy and sustainable land-use systems. Abellon Agrisciences has undertaken agro-forestry as a mainstream activity with a view to promote sustainable land use.

The site has been developed as a truly sustainable and zero-waste generating model with integration of complementing elements including…

•  Vermi-composting facilities using organic manure sourced from nearby villages
•  Drip Irrigation for better results while saving on water consumption.
•  Nursery to support healthier post-germination growth of tissue-cultured plants.
•  Designing and sourcing of world-class equipment for incorporating efficient harvesting and storage practices for the crops.
•  Inter-cropping for optimum usage of available land and increased yield

Contract Farming

Contract farming is a tripartite farming model to cultivate and harvest crops with the involvement of the Government, business establishments and farmers, to serve multiple purposes while promoting organized farming practices. Abellon emphasizes on scientific and optimum use of land and farm resources for maximum agricultural output, to be used to generate renewable energy.
