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. 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aForestry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 14$aForestry. 615 24$aAgriculture. 676 $a634.990913 700 $aAtangana$b Alain$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065328 702 $aKhasa$b Damase$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aChang$b Scott$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aDegrande$b Ann$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298302303321 996 $aTropical Agroforestry$92544721 997 $aUNINA
