Abstract
Agroforestry helps in providing all necessities of life while at the same time maintains the quality of land resources. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a suitable model for prediction of area under agroforestry. The study has been conducted in Yamunanagar district of Haryana state and important factors responsible for growth of agroforestry in this district have been identified based on a household survey. Area under agroforestry for non-sampled villages of the district has been predicted using the developed model. A map depicting percentage area under agroforestry for all the villages of the district, classified into three different categories, has been generated using Geographic Information System (GIS) software.
