Agroforestry "the practice of growing trees and crops in interacting combinations" is recognized the world over as an integrated approach to sustainable land-use. Agroforestry systems, being multifunctional, facilitate not only the production of food and wood products but also p…
The origin of agroforestry practices--growing trees and shrubs with food and fruit crops and grasses is traditional and very old--but the science of agroforestry is new. Years of experience and experiments have shown that agroforestry as a land-use system is capable of yielding …
"Forest degradation as a result of logging, shifting cultivation, agriculture and urban development is a major issue throughout the tropics. It leads to loss in soil fertility, water resources and biodiversity, as well as contributes to climate change. Efforts are therefore requ…

« This new edition provides an update on the considerable amount of evidence on tree-crop interactions which has accumulated during the last two decades, especially on the more complex multi-strata agroforestry systems, which are typical of the humid tropics. In addition three n…
This second edition, which includes 12 chapters, provides an important update on tree-crop interactions over the last two decades. Three new chapters have been added to describe the new advances in the relationship between climate change adaptation, rural development and how tre…
