- The Union Ministry of Environment has made new rules for cutting trees on farm land to help wood-based businesses grow.
- The rules support tree farming (agroforestry) and aim to increase the local timber production to meet demand.
- This will help reduce the need for imported wood and boost exports of wood products.
- A state-level committee will guide the states on promoting agroforestry and easier timber rules.
- Farmers and businesses must register their plantations on the National Timber Management System (NTMS) portal with details like land, tree species, and the plantation time.
- The initiative aims to double farm incomes and promote sustainable land use.
