In the context of livelihood sector, agroforestry has emerged as a promising livelihood option that supports both ecological balance and income generation, particularly for the rural vulnerable communities. This study analyses how agroforestry practices have impacted the lives of tribal households in the Ganda Twisa subdivision of Dhalai District, Tripura. A total of 100 agroforestry farmers were randomly selected to understand their current practices, the implementation process, livelihood outcomes, and the overall sustainability of their livelihood. The standard agroforestry model adopted in the study area combines agarwood, are canut, and pineapple, and has been widely accepted by the beneficiaries. Several farmers have also added other crops on their own to increase diversified income. The study observed that, about 78% of the participants have already started earning supplementary income, mostly from pineapple, grown as an intercrop. Overall, agroforestry has significantly contributed to livelihood through long-term income security through agar cultivation, diversified income sources, improved food and nutritional support, and increased employment opportunities. At the same time, several challenges were identified, including limited technical knowledge, financial constraints for fencing in the farm land, inconsistent access to quality planting materials, and market linkages. Despite these challenges, an encouraging 92% of the farmers were found optimistic and were ready for expanding agroforestry on their land. The study recommends continued extension services, market access and training as needed to achieve the full potential of agroforestry as a rural sustainable development model in Tripura.
