An innovative addition to the TfW movement is the intercropping undertaking. Taking cognisance of the fact that farmers may be discouraged by the extended waiting period awaiting fruition of their trees and care needed by the saplings in the first few years of raising the fruit trees, tEA has introduced numerous cash crops and spices to be grown simultaneously. This has been done so with the aim of creating another means through which farmers can become more economically secure and increase cash flow.

Intercropping is an age-old practice in the Naga hills, and a practice that many continue to practice in their farms and kitchen gardens. As such, scaling an already known practice would substantially help farmers generate income. The crops introduced through this are, Potato, Perilla, Native Chilies, Turmeric, Zingiber Ginger/Naga Spicy Ginger, Sesame, Jobs tears, Millet, Yam, Pumpkin, Cucumber, Tomato, Beans & Cabbage, crops that farmers are familiar with in traditional farming practices. These crops can be planted in the same plot and can generate quick passive income for farmers as they wait for the fruit trees to bear fruit.
