Description

Product Description The USDA defines agroforestry as: `the intentional mixing of trees and shrubs into crop and animal production systems to create environmental, economic and social benefits'. Agroforestry seeks to balance protection of forest resources, the exploitation of the ecosystem services that trees can contribute to agriculture and the role of agroforestry in diversifying the range of agricultural products and markets, especially for smallholders and forest communities. This volume reviews the latest research on the role and implementation of main types of agroforestry, understanding and assessing the ecosystem services that agroforestry can deliver and techniques for optimising agroforestry practice. The book's main focus is on temperate agroforestry, but also reviews particular issues facing agroforestry in the tropics. With its distinguished editors and team of contributing authors, the collection will be a standard reference on agroforestry science for forestry and agricultural scientists in universities, government and other research centres promoting agroforestry to improve sustainability in agriculture, the natural environment and rural communities. About the Author Dr Mosquera-Losada is Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Professor Mosquera-Losada is President of the European Agroforestry Federation (EURAF) and one of the Work Package Leaders for the major EU AGFORWARD (Agroforestry that will Advance Rural Development) Project. Dr Ravi Prabhu is Deputy Director General (Research) at the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) in Kenya. Dr Prabhu was previously Senior Programme Officer for Forests and Climate Change at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
