• On land that cannot support agriculture but will produce a tree crop. There exists enormous, untapped potential to improve the lot of the farmers through agroforestry. The main reasons why farmers have yet to plant trees on poor lands are: • Insecurity of land tenure, • Legal problems in harvesting and selling trees, • Market imperfections, • Lack of extension services, and • Problems in the tree patta schemes. It is unrealistic to expect that poor farmers will plant trees for purely ecological and environmental reasons. They will only do so if they see an economic benefit from such plantings. Evidence over the past 15 years suggests that farmers who have planted trees have done so for profit. It is important to integrate the traditional attributes of tree growing w i t h modern approaches and relate them to economic gains, if farm forestry is to be successfully promoted. 28
