The Role of Remote Sensing in Agroforestry Monitoring In agroforestry, accurate and efficient monitoring is crucial for assessing the health, growth, and carbon sequestration potential of plantations. [...] The NDMI is sensitive to changes in water content in Agri Articles ISSN: 2582-9882 Page 369 G hosh and Sharma (2024) Agri Articles, 04(05): 368-372 (SEP-OCT, 2024) the vegetation canopy, making it an essential tool in agroforestry monitoring, where the health and moisture levels of both trees and crops need to be precisely tracked. [...] The integration of RS-GIS technologies in agroforestry monitoring not only supports the economic viability of ARR projects but also ensures that the environmental and social benefits are realized, contributing to the overall sustainability of India's agricultural sector. [...] By analyzing variations in canopy structure, vegetation diversity, and ground cover using indices like NDVI and SAVI, the contribution of agroforestry to habitat provision and ecosystem restoration can be quantified. [...] As India moves towards implementing its National Agroforestry Policy, the adoption of RS-based monitoring tools will be crucial in realizing the full potential of agroforestry in achieving carbon neutrality and supporting the livelihoods of millions of farmers across the country.
