Methodology is given in my research paper which is available on Research Gate

Rizvi, R.H., Newaj, Ram, Karmakar, P.S., Saxena, A., Maurya, A. and Jain, Amit. 2017. Agroforestry and grassland mapping in two districts of Uttarakhand through geospatial technology. Range Management & Agroforestry 38(2): 254-258.

Dear, look at this useful paper, which give an overview on existing free and open source desktop GIS Software.

Title: An Overview on Current Free and Open Source Desktop GIS Developments

Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data, analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes and reveals deeper insights into data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations—helping users make smarter decisions.

You can refer to papers published by my friend Dr. RH Rizvi working at CAFRI Jhansi for the exact methodology. e.g., Range Management & Agroforestry 38(2): 254-258.

GIS is a technology by which hilly areas can be divided into different elevation zones using DEM and then agroforestry area can be estimated for these zones.
