1st South Asian Agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests Congress Concludes in Delhi
Two-day Congress TREESCAPES 2026 Reimagined Agroforestry in South Asia Deliberations by Foreign Agri Ministers, experts on agroforestry’s contribution to climate resiliency, farmers’ livelihood, tree-based entrepreneurship and economic growth The Centre for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), in collaboration with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), successfully concluded TREESCAPES 2026, the 1st South Asian Agroforestry & Trees Outside Forests (AF-TOF) Congress, held from 5th to 7th February 2026 at the Bharat Ratna C. Subramaniam Auditorium, National Agricultural Science Complex (NASC), Pusa Campus, New Delhi . The three-day regional congress aims to emerge as a landmark platform for collective deliberation on strengthening tree-based agriculture and trees outside forest systems to enhance climate resilience, restore landscapes, and improve agricultural livelihoods across South Asia and was graced by eminent dignitaries, including Dr Madan Prasad Pariyar, Hon’ble Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development, Government of Nepal; and Mr Ahmed Hassan Didi, Hon’ble Minister of State for Agriculture and Animal Welfare, Republic of Maldives; along with senior officials from India and other South Asian countries. Dr. M.L. Jat, Secretary (DARE) and Director General, ICAR and Mr. Manoj Dabas, India Country Director, CIFOR-ICRAF, during TREESCAPES 2026 Speaking on the occasion Dr M.L. Jat, Secretary (DARE) & DG (ICAR), stated, “Asia is home to some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable agricultural systems, yet it also holds immense potential to lead in nature-based economic transformation. Recent regional studies show that agroforestry has helped reduce deforestation and avoid tens of millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually while supporting rural livelihoods. TREESCAPES demonstrates that scaling success will depend on unlocking green finance, empowering local institutions, and integrating youth and women into extension and entrepreneurship models. For South Asia, tree-based agriculture is not just about restoring landscapes - it is about future-proofing rural economies.” Mr. Manoj Dabas, India Country Director, CIFOR-ICRAF further stated, “India’s tree-based systems already account for nearly 20 percent of national carbon stocks, yet the country continues to import over USD 7 billion worth of wood and wood-based products annually, growing at double-digit rates. This contradiction highlights a massive missed opportunity. TREESCAPES has brought together evidence showing that tree-based agriculture can reduce import dependence, strengthen rural incomes for India’s 86 percent marginal farmers, and deliver measurable climate outcomes. The next phase of growth will depend on aligning carbon markets, digital traceability, and private-sector procurement with farmer realities. Agroforestry must be positioned not as an environmental add-on, but as core rural infrastructure.” The two-day Congress brought together policymakers, senior government officials, researchers, industry leaders, financial institutions, civil society organizations, farmers, and youth from across South Asia, with discussions focussing on strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, expanding forest certification with greater smallholder integration, and leveraging agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests (TOF) for climate resilience and ecosystem services among others. In addition to featuring high-level thematic sessions focused on digital and geospatial innovations for agroforestry, water-secure and multifunctional landscapes, capacity building and extension systems, and enhancing trees in urban landscapes, the Congress also included four plenaries and a dedicated ministerial hour, underscoring strong political commitment to mainstreaming agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests across South Asia. With India’s push towards a green economy in sync with its 2070 net-zero goals, TREESCAPES 2026 highlighted the need for stronger institutional collaboration and PPP partnerships to address implementation opportunities and scale agroforestry sustainably in India by positioning itself as a pivotal platform in encouraging further effective implementation of agroforestry as a means of increasing tree cover and improving farmers’ incomes and livelihoods as we move towards a more climate-resilient future. About Treescapes TREESCAPES 2026 is being organised jointly by CIFOR-ICRAF and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), with the ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute (CAFRI), Jhansi, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), and the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), Bhopal, as Organising Partners. The Thematic Partners for TREESCAPES 2026 include GIZ, Haryana Forest Development Corporation, ITC Limited, The Nature Conservancy, Intellecap, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Indian Society of Agroforestry, and IORA Ecological Solutions. The National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) and the Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS) are the Knowledge Partners in the Congress. With India’s push towards a green economy in sync with its 2070 net-zero goals buoyed by the country’s reforestation drive (recently driven by Gujarat), TREESCAPES 2026 positions itself as a pivotal platform in encouraging further effective implementation of agroforestry as a means of increasing tree cover and improving farmers’ incomes and livelihoods as we move towards a more climate-resilient future About CIFOR-ICRAF CIFOR-ICRAF The Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry ( www.cifor-icraf.org ), harnesses the power of trees, forests and agroforestry landscapes to address the most pressing global challenges of our time - biodiversity loss, climate change, food security, livelihoods and inequality.

BJP National Spokesperson Tuhin A. Sinha recently visited Haryana-based Parashar Future Defence Technologies and Parashar Industries, engaging with the company’s indigenous drone manufacturing capabilities and its growing role in India’s defence manufacturing and high-technology MSME ecosystem. BJP National Spokesperson Tuhin A. Sinha interacting with Nagender Parashar, Director, Parashar Industries The visit assumes particular significance in the backdrop of the Union Budget presented post Operation Sindoor, which has accorded Defence Services an unprecedented allocation of INR 7.85 lakh crore for FY 2026–27. This represents 2% of the estimated GDP for the coming financial year and reflects a 15.19% increase over the Budget Estimates of FY 2025–26. Defence expenditure now accounts for 14.67% of total Central Government spending, the highest among all ministries, underscoring the strategic importance of national security alongside economic development. The Budget has reinforced a carefully calibrated security–development–self-reliance balance, widely seen as being in the best long-term interest of the nation. Recent disruptions in global supply chains and the increasing prioritisation of domestic requirements over foreign suppliers have once again highlighted the urgency of import substitution and indigenisation, not merely for operational sustenance but for future defence modernisation. In line with this approach, the Ministry of Defence has further strengthened its policy framework by earmarking INR 1.39 lakh crore—nearly 75% of the Capital Acquisition budget—for procurement from domestic industries in FY 2026–27. Such targeted budgetary support reassures Indian manufacturers about long-term demand visibility, encourages fresh investments, and enables domestic players to assume a progressively larger role in the capability development of the Armed Forces. During the visit, Tuhin A. Sinha interacted with Nagender Parashar, CEO and Director, Parashar Future Defence Technologies, and the senior technical team. He was briefed on the company’s end-to-end drone development lifecycle, encompassing design, in-house research, precision manufacturing, testing, and deployment—all carried out within India. The interaction showcased Parashar’s emphasis on engineering excellence, quality assurance, and mission-ready performance, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable Indian product brand serving both defence and select civilian applications. With nearly 28% of the total defence allocation directed towards capital expenditure, upcoming acquisition programmes are expected to cover next-generation fighter aircraft, smart and lethal weapons, ships and submarines, unmanned aerial vehicles, drones, and specialised platforms. In this evolving procurement landscape, companies such as Parashar Future Defence Technologies are increasingly positioned as credible MSME partners, capable of delivering agile, technology-driven indigenous solutions aligned with future operational needs. The visit also highlighted Haryana’s emergence as an important node in India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem, supported by a strong industrial base, skilled workforce, and improving infrastructure. MSMEs like Parashar Industries are moving steadily up the value chain—from manufacturing to design-led, innovation-driven product development—while contributing to employment generation and regional economic growth under the Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and Viksit Bharat initiatives. Speaking after the visit, Tuhin A. Sinha observed that the work being undertaken at Parashar Future Defence Technologies reflects the outcomes of sustained reforms in defence procurement, private sector participation, and ease of doing business. He noted that Indian MSMEs are now playing an increasingly central role in innovation and advanced manufacturing, with direct implications for national security, industrial competitiveness, and job creation. Nagender Parashar said that the company’s growth mirrors the confidence created by policy stability and a supportive industrial ecosystem. He added that Parashar Future Defence Technologies continues to invest in research, skilled engineering talent, and robust quality systems, enabling the delivery of high-performance indigenous solutions while contributing meaningfully to India’s defence preparedness. As India accelerates efforts to reduce import dependence and deepen domestic participation in strategic sectors, enterprises such as Parashar Future Defence Technologies exemplify how MSME-led innovation, strong product brands, and manufacturing depth can advance both national security objectives and long-term economic development.

ET Money , India’s leading full-stack wealth platform and part of the 360 ONE WAM group, today announced the launch of Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs). This makes ET Money, India’s first investment platform to offer intelligence-led access to this newly introduced category of Mutual Funds. India’s first platform to offer intelligence-led access to Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) With this launch, ET Money extends its long-standing mission of simplifying long-term investing by expanding beyond Mutual Funds. It reinforces their effort to offer access to more advanced, professionally managed investment strategies, while ensuring product suitability, decision clarity and investment confidence. Why SIFs are for you Specialized Investment Funds were introduced by SEBI to address a growing gap in the Indian investment landscape. It sits between traditional Mutual Funds and Portfolio Management Services (PMS). As Indian investors mature, many seek strategies that go beyond simple equity or hybrid allocations. They want: Better downside management Consistent outcomes across market cycles Greater flexibility in deploying larger capital allocations SIFs are designed with an aim to fill this gap by allowing fund managers to use advanced strategies, including derivatives, long-short positioning, and tactical hedging. All of this within the regulated, tax-efficient Mutual Fund structure. The Intelligence Layer: Making SIFs Investable While SIFs unlock powerful possibilities, they are also inherently more complex than traditional Mutual Funds. Funds within the same category can have very different objectives, risk profiles, and outcomes, making evaluation difficult for individual investors. This is where ET Money’s intelligence-led approach comes in. Rather than presenting SIFs as a list of products, ET Money decodes them based on their intended role in an investor’s portfolio: Stable, tax-efficient return strategies Consistent return strategies with controlled risk Equity-like growth with lower volatility By translating technical fund structures into clear use cases and expected outcomes, ET Money enables investors to choose SIFs based on purpose, risk appetite, and investment horizon instead of jargon. ET Money - A Home for SIF and Big Investments For years, ET Money has been a preferred platform for long-term retail investing. With SIFs requiring a Rs. 10 lakh minimum investment, the platform now naturally extends into serving investors’ larger capital allocations. “As our investors’ wealth grows, their needs evolve beyond traditional Mutual Funds,” said Mukesh Kalra, Founder & CEO, ET Money . “SIFs represent the next step for affluent Indian investors who want a better balance of returns and risk management. But access alone isn’t enough. What investors really need is clarity. By adding a strong intelligence layer on top of SIFs and decoding their purpose in one’s portfolio, we are helping investors deploy larger sums with confidence and precision. We’re not just offering a new product. We’re providing a clearer roadmap for long-term wealth.” Flexible Access, Investor’s Choice All SIFs available on ET Money can be accessed through the investor’s preferred engagement model. Investors may choose between: Advisory-based access Distribution-based access This ensures flexibility, transparency, and alignment with individual preferences. About ET Money ET Money, a 360 ONE company, is India’s leading full-stack wealth platform, helping Indians invest with clarity and confidence. It brings the most important, retail-friendly investment products together in one place. From mutual funds and SIFs to fixed deposits, bonds, insurance and pension solutions, ET Money curates investment-worthy choices and makes them accessible through seamless, paperless digital journeys. The platform leverages technology and thoughtful design to enhance decision-making with research-driven insights, personalised recommendations and active portfolio supervision. Its suite of investment intelligence includes the ET Money Fund Report Card, Fund Verdicts, Portfolio Health Check and Multi-Asset Allocation Strategies. ET Money envisions a future where every Indian investor gets unmatched support across every stage of their wealth-building journey — enabling disciplined, long-term investing with exceptional ease, clarity, and confidence. Disclaimers Investments in Specialized Investment Fund involve relatively higher risk, including potential loss of capital, liquidity risk and market volatility.
