Agroforestry Model Design & Establishment

• Develop and adapt agroforestry models suited to hilly agriculture and jhum-affected terrain, integrating tree, plantation, and horticulture components.
• Support farmers directly in establishing agroforestry models on their land, including site selection, layout planning, and phased implementation.
• Draw on a working knowledge of the jhum farming system including rotation cycles, fallow periods, and community land-use norms to ensure models are locally appropriate and adoptable.

Nursery Management & Planting Material

• Apply technical understanding and hands-on experience in nursery management to establish and oversee nurseries for agroforestry species.
• Coordinate procurement and preparation of quality seedling/planting material for rubber, bamboo, native trees, and horticulture crops.
• Apply silvicultural and horticultural best practices across nursery operations and field establishment.

Native Species Assessment

• Lead assessment of native tree species suitable for the region, considering ecological fit, farmer utility,



and compatibility with agroforestry models.
• Maintain a working reference list of recommended species by site/terrain type for use in planning and farmer engagement.

Market Analysis & Crop Promotion Strategy

• Conduct market analysis for the uptake of rubber, bamboo, and other horticulture commodities in the region.
• Analyze and recommend which crops to promote across project villages, balancing market viability, ecological suitability, and farmer capacity.
• Conduct supply chain analysis for horticulture crops, including rubber, identifying bottlenecks and opportunities for smallholder market access.

Stakeholder Coordination

• Coordinate with the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) and other relevant government bodies as the primary institutional engagement points.
• Coordinate with research organizations, KVKs, and other technical partners on agroforestry, nursery, and crop-specific g
