The principles behind agroforestry are not new, they have
been practised for as long as humans have been farming.
Realising the full potential of integrating commercially
managed trees into farming systems is, however, still a long
way off. This book introduces the theory of agroforestry. We
look at practical management and design considerations.
Where the information is available we have provided
information on markets and pricing. There are countless
opportunities to grow a range of tree crops for human and
animal consumption, for animal welfare and soil health, for
building, and even woody products to replace plastics.
