Agroforestry systems have evolved over centuries through farmer experimentation and changing conditions. Today, it is a potent tool in conservation and rural development. Networks are about people and institutions. FAO has supported some 135 networks in various fields in the world. Networks show greatest effectiveness in information dissemination. International organizations that support agroforestry and community forestry networks in Asia-Pacific include ICRAF, FTPP, RECOFTC and APAN.
