Agroforestry systems in southern Assam serve as a vital source of livelihood for indigenous and smallholder communities. This research investigates the contribution of community-driven resilience in sustaining pineapple-based agroforestry productivity and maintaining ecological balance within these systems. Employing field surveys, participatory rural appraisal (PRA), and stakeholder interviews across selected villages, the research underscores the value of local adaptive strategies, traditional ecological knowledge, and collective action in fostering resilience. Findings reveal that community-driven land restoration efforts, integrated cropping systems, soil conservation measures, and improved market access significantly contribute to livelihood security and environmental sustainability. Strong social networks, institutional partnerships, and community-led innovations also enhance the capacity to withstand climate-related and economic shocks. The study advocates for the recognition and empowerment of grassroots institutions, promoting agroecological practices, and formulating policies responsive to local contexts. By fostering participatory approaches, pineapple-based agroforestry systems can be transformed into resilient models that support ecological conservation and ensure long-term socioeconomic stability. The insights offered a replicable framework for similar ecologically sensitive and socio-economically vulnerable regions across Northeast India.
