Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is derived from the 2nd World Agroforestry Congress, held in Kenya in 2009. Each of its three sections provides a different perspective on agroforestry. … the synthesis of recent information is not duplicated in typical journal articles and represents a significant contribution to the understanding of agroforestry today. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.” (B. D. Orr, Choice, Vol. 50 (11), July, 2013)
“The book is well written, beautifully produced and contains a wealth of information on agroforestry today. … All the chapters are of high quality, containing detailed, state-of-the-art, up-to-date information on the different topics of interest to a broader, multidisciplinary audience. … It is of interest to anyone engaged in the practice of agroforestry, forestry or agriculture. … I recommend it to both undergraduates and postgraduate students of agroforestry, forestry, agriculture, ecology orbiology, and that a copy of the book is purchased for institutional libraries.” (Zewge Teklehaimanot, Frontiers of Biogeography, Vol. 5 (3), 2013)
