This Toolkit is part of the World Agroforestry Centre’s (ICRAF’s) scaling up activities for agroforestry technologies. The Toolkit was developed to provide information to farmers about sustainable production and distribution of agroforestry seed and seedlings. Also included are issues that deal with seed quality, developing joint strategies for seed production and ways of introducing sustainability in seed production and distribution systems. Although this Toolkit was developed for ICRAF’s Trees and Markets thematic area in East and Central Africa, the information and resources herein can be utilized globally. Users are encouraged to adapt the materials provided in this Toolkit for extension and training activities with farmers. ";
