"The book systematically introduces the scientific principles of agrostology, emphasizing the ecological and economic importance of grasses and grassland ecosystems. By combining theoretical explanations with practical perspectives on grassland management, the book enables readers to understand both the scientific foundations and applied importance of grassland conservation.Attention to the social acceptability and economic viability of agroforestry practices further strengthens the practical relevance of the work. Overall, Agrostology and Agroforestry represent a well-organized and academically rigorous contribution that will be highly beneficial for students, researchers, and professionals in agriculture, forestry, and environmental sciences."— Sheetanshu Gupta, Central Agricultural University, India.
