    Tropical homegardens is unique multitier agroforestry system with diverse components (trees, shrubs, herbs in association with annual and perennial cultivated plants, along with rearing of livestock, poultry or fish), low input based resource management that meet the diverse requirement of the household. Ensuring the availability of food and other livelihood requirements being the primary basis of evolution of homegardens, the close social and cultural interactions together with ecological soundness are the chief drivers that kept homegardens sustainable against the test of time. Homegardens is helping in conserving crop diversity, reducing the pressure on local natural forests by being a source of food, timber, fuel wood, fodder and medicinal plants etc. It is an important wheels of vehicle for biodiversity, environmental and ecological benefits, food security (either directly food grains, fruits, vegetables and root crops or indirectly improving soil conditions and there by promoting understory crop productivity especially on degraded sites), nutritional security, soil conservation potential, mitigation of the impact of climate change and job opportunity in tropics. Influx of monoculture, land fragmentation, alternative market avenue for homegardens products and fast changing socioeconomic and cultural equations have put serious threats on the future of these wonderful systems. Future strategies to improve homegardens should aim to maintain high species diversity; promote the sustainable developed models; promote to register of germplasm or biodiversity; application of modern technology; advances harvesting processing unit; value-added of homegardens products; appropriate homegardens intensity of management and promoting; socio political issues and broadening consumer perspectives.
