The shelter belts in India are planted along the east coast of India.

Some times back, India was affected by huge Tsunamis and this encouraged the idea of shelter belts.

Shelter belts are in form of trees and shrubs.

The shelter belts are thus grown to reduce the impact of the Tsunami in the event of occurrence.

They are also a source of income to those who plant them for commercial purposes.

Shelter belts are a series of trees or shrubs that are grown in a form of horizontal line adjacent to the field. A series of trees planted to grow in the edges of a field in order to protect the fields from high speed winds.  

Shelter belts is a widely used method in agriculture across the world. Sometimes, shelter belts are grown in the form of multi cropping.
