Product Description
by Lester Bane (Editor)
This book introduces various agroforestry practices and its diverse applications. Agroforestry reduces deforestation and forest degradation, providing livelihoods and a safe zone for species outside properly protected grounds. However, extensive acceptance of agroforestry innovations is still controlled by numerous factors including design features of applicable agroforestry innovations, apparent needs, policies, availability and distribution of factors of production, and awareness of risks. Understanding the factors that control the adoption of agroforestry and how they impact its implementation is crucially important. This book explains agroforestry practices, their impact on biodiversity, and also identifies policy issues for promoting adoption of agroforestry practices and reduction of unwanted policies.
