Globally , forests have come into focus as one of the means to mitigate Climate Change. With the increasing population especially in developing countries, there is now limited land for agriculture and plantation forestry.The poor farmers would prefer to use their land for food security and income. The best way to encourage farmers to plant more trees is to encourage them to plant trees that provide multiple benefits through adoption of Agro-forestry practices. This book elaborates on the field experiences on Agro-forestry and sustainable land management in the poor rural communities.
