Abstract
Socio-economic aspects of Agroforestry are evaluated in the present study. People in the study area plant only three tree species i.e. Populus deltoides, Salix alba and Robinia pseudoacacia under Agroforestry systems, which are not scientifically efficient and so people do not meet their requirements of food, fodder and fuel wood for full year from these models. In order to make the models efficient and productive and generate interest in scientific models energies need to be diverted for on farm experiments so that people can judge by themselves performance of scientific models, which in turn will go a long way in fulfilling the requirements of farmers to a great extent. Models devised should be socially acceptable and economically feasible so that they are adopted without much resistance.
