The Theory and Practice of Agroforestry Design

The purpose of this volume is to present a detailed and in-depth look at the concepts, principles and practices that underlie agroforestry application. The focus is on how the individual parts (the theories and concepts) form the whole (the process of designing or understanding user-specific agroforestry systems) and how theory influences or leads to successful application. The book should serve as an advanced text for students of agroforestry or for those practitioners intereseted in going beyond field basics. The perspective taken comes from agroecological theory.
