The purpose of this book is to present a detailed and
in-depth look at concepts, principles, and practices that undelie
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. This book will serve as an advanced text
for students of agroforestry or for those practitioners interested in going
beyond field basics. The perspective taken comes from agroecological theory.
The book comprises indices, upto date references, and a glossary.
