Abstract:

The concept of agro-forestry in this modern era involves the purposeful incorporation of trees on our farmlands todiversifyincomesourcesandconserve the environment. Gone are the days when the demand for fuelwood, timber and poles in the Lango and Acholi sub-regions was largely met from natural forests and woodlands. Most of the traditional sources of these products have been exhausted and because of this, it is not rear to see trucks bringing in timber from as far as the Democratic Republic of Congo.
