 Description:

Agroforestry systems (AFS) are becoming increasingly relevant worldwide as soci- ety has come to recognize their multiple roles and services: biodiversity conserva- tion, carbon sequestration, adaptation and mitigation of climate change, restoration of degraded ecosystems, and tools for rural development. This book summarizes advances in agroforestry research and practice and raises questions as to the effec- tiveness of AFS to solve the development and environmental challenges the world presents us today.
