There is a great potential for fuelwood plantations of fast-growing species on vacant
lands where either animal visitation is not frequent or species are so chosen that
these are not damaged by animals. Another method of low-cost afforestation is by
promoting natural regeneration assisted by seed sowing, which has good potential in
semiarid areas, though it is less feasible in arid and hyperarid areas. In purely financial
terms, it is also possible to reduce costs by using machinery instead of human labour,
but that will undermine the social advantage of employment generation. Economic
viability in case of mechanised methods, looking at the poor productivity of sites,
may indeed be questionable.
