Agroforestry is recognized as a sustainable land-use management in
the tropics, as it provides environmental-friendly ecosystems; it
also provides people with their every day need for food and cash.
Since the recognition of agroforestry as a science, curricula have
been developed for agroforestry programs for undergraduate and
graduate trainings in Universities. Therefore, there is an urgent
need to develop and make available educational material. This
textbook strives to provide up-to-date information on tropical
agroforestry to serve as educational material in the tropical
context. The authoritative textbook of Nair (1993) on agroforestry
was published 18 years ago, and before the advent of tree
domestication, an important agroforestry practice today. In
addition, many other research activities, such as carbon
sequestration and integrated pest management, have been included in
the agroforestry agenda. This textbook is intended for agroforestry
students, teachers, and practitioners.
