Smallholder tree growing is increasingly recognized by rural development workers, policy-makers, and planners as an essential component of rural development, sustainable land use, and reforestation and its associated environmental services. Although fairly extensive in some countries, the information on trees grown outside forested areas is still fragmented and often presented by sector. Inventories and assessments of trees in agricultural areas are generally lacking, jeopardizing the development of databases on various tree-related statistics, such as plant densities, types of species, growing and planting techniques, economic value, and social demands of tree products
