简介

Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The nine articles of this collection present case studies of farmers in south and eastern Africa who tested then adopted practices of growing trees in addition to their food crops to provide fuel and building material. The articles consider cases in Kenya and Zambia, the improvements brought by agroforestry, and policy lessons and recommendations for the area. The contributors are affiliated with research centers mainly in Kenya but also Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Canada, the US, and Sweden. Distributed by Oxford U. Press. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 A number of books exist which consider the biophysical aspects of agroforestry. However, there has hitherto been a lack of information about the socioeconomics of agroforestry, and its adoption by farmers, following rigorous scientific methods. This book fills this gap by assessing the adoption potential of selected agroforestry practices, describing the methodologies and drawing out implications for research and development. It includes five case studies conducted in Kenya and Zambia.
