About
RuFu® Agroforestry which is termed as Ghor Bari is a concept of creating food forests on empty lands belonging to families and the communities. The model provides maximum benefit by optimally leveraging soil, water and sunlight flourishing without any human interference; producing ample food, healthy growth and contributing to a balanced ecosystem. Agroforestry involves planting 7/8 different varieties of saplings of trees and shrubs which require less management but has great revenue returns. The saplings which are planted are Moringa, Papaya, Lemon, King Chilly, Sweet Potato, Turmeric, Pumpkin, Ginger and Black Pepper. However, the execution of Agroforestry requires meeting a checklist which are
1) 1 Bigha land
2) Availability of water
3) Clear land without any existing trees or plants
