Agroforestry & farm forestry

Agroforestry and farm forestry MRV for FPO and state programmes

Farm-boundary strips, silvopasture blocks, and horticulture borders on farmer land need the same defensibility as large CSR plantations: who the beneficiary is, which khasra the trees sit on, whether saplings survived after the monsoon, and whether canopy signals support the claim. Aranyix runs digital MRV and Estate Watch for agroforestry programmes implemented by FPOs, NGOs, and state farm-forestry missions — without promising registry carbon credits or filing on government portals for you.

Evidence programmes need, not crop optimisation

Many agroforestry apps focus on yield advice and farmer wallets. Aranyix stays on programme accountability: geo-tagged registration, survival tracking, satellite health context, and one audit-prep evidence pack funders and reviewers can follow.

How survival is calculated for Indian plantations is in the tree survival rate formula. Geo-tagging expectations for CSR-style community blocks are in geo-tagged tree plantation records.

What Aranyix delivers for agroforestry programmes

Use the agroforestry_farm scheme to capture beneficiary ID, land record reference, plot type (strip, boundary, silvopasture), and optional MGNREGA job card references. Field teams map boundary strips as corridor work areas; managers continue through Estate Watch — Prepare, Prove, Package, Sign off.

  • Farmer beneficiary and tenure metadata on every project
  • Corridor and polygon work areas for strips vs blocks
  • Survival resurveys and photo evidence on mobile
  • Satellite NDVI context per work area (observations, not yield models)
  • Estate Watch evidence pack for FPO / state / CSR reviewers

Typical rollout

Most implementers start with one gram panchayat or FPO cluster, then scale to district programmes. A 90-day pilot on one to three villages is enough to prove beneficiary traceability and post-monsoon survival before statewide expansion.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aranyix a farmer advisory or mandi app?
No. Aranyix is plantation MRV and audit-prep evidence for programme owners and implementers. We do not optimise crop yield, sell inputs, or operate farmer marketplaces.
Can Aranyix issue carbon credits for farm forestry?
No. Aranyix provides modeled estimates and audit-prep exports only. We do not issue Verra, Gold Standard, or Green Credit registry credits.
Does Estate Watch work on agroforestry projects?
Yes. Projects using the agroforestry_farm scheme appear in the Estate Watch portfolio with the same four-chapter workflow as estate monitoring programmes.
Do you file on MGNREGA MIS or state forestry portals?
No. Aranyix stores job card references and exports structured evidence you can attach to your own filings. We do not submit data to government systems on your behalf.
