Agroforestry is a land use system that allows for the concurrent
production of trees and agricultural crops and/or animals from the
same piece of land. It has a rich history of development and has
been practised in some parts of the world for more than 6,000
years. In 1997, CABI published the seminal book on this subject,
Temperate Agroforestry Systems, which was a break from the norm as
almost all agroforestry texts up to that date were only relevant to
tropical areas. The book explored the development of temperate
agroforestry and agroforestry systems, concentrating on those areas
within temperate zones where the greatest advances, adoptions and
modifications had taken place up to that time: North and South
America, China, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. This second
fully-updated and expanded edition includes additional chapters on
India and Chile and, as a result of ongoing advances in the field,
separate chapters on the US, Canada, the UK and continental Europe.
Today's challenges of climate change, population growth and food
security, in concert with the ongoing global requirement for the
energy and water needed for a resilient agricultural paradigm, can
be met through the wide-scale adoption of agroforestry practices,
in both tropical regions and temperate zones. The 2nd edition
ofTemperate Agroforestry Systems brings together many examples of
temperate agroforestry and will make valuable reading for all those
working in this area as researchers, practitioners and policy
makers. The book is also of importance to students and teachers of
agriculture, ecology, environmental studies and forestry in
temperate regions.
