Agroforestry: Trees and Crops | Christian DUPRAZ

Trees in our cultivated plots? Why not! For a century, they have been systematically removed from agricultural plots. However, increasingly, their added value is being studied in terms of income, preserving the water resource, various plant productions, biodiversity, and environmental protection. The book provides practical tools for a successful agroforestry project. The authors detail the selection of plots and trees, planting and harvesting techniques, area distribution, and work. They present suggestions for project feasibility as well as financial assessments for a successful start. The new edition includes a new chapter on the role of agroforestry in a climate change perspective and a DVD to watch on the challenges and prospects of agroforestry.
