    [abstract] => Agroforestry methods and their limitations were investigated in this study among a subset of farmers in Jhansi District (U. P.) India. Data were gathered from a total of 120 respondents through observations, in-person interviews, and a well-structured questionnaire. To analyze the data gathered, descriptive statistics were employed. The average age and size of farming families were 41 years and 10 people, respectively, indicating that farming was dominated by men. With an average farming experience of 14 years, over half (69.2%) of the farmers were literate. The most prevalent trees in the farmlands were Azadirachta indica, poplar, eucalyptus, and mango. Due to conservation education (32.5%) and forest guards (20.0%), the majority of farmers (70.8%) were aware of agroforestry practices, which preserve valuable trees and enhance agricultural output. In the (98.3%), a source of revenue (81.7%), and a source of food (80.3%). In the study area, the following factors hindered agroforestry practices: restricted usage of farm equipment (75%), poor access to finance facilities (70.8%), trees' rapid growth (68.3%), land tenure (65.8%), marketing channel (62.5%), and population growth (56.7%). Therefore, the study suggested that public and non-governmental extension agents educate farmers about agroforestry through workshops and community awareness campaigns, and that farmers receive support in the form of credit facilities, improved seeds or varieties, and soft loans for increased production.
