Rapid appraisal of Agroforestry practices, Systems And Technology (RAFT)

Export citation

Agroforestry is an umbrella term for a wide range of practices and situations in which trees are allowed to grow or are grown on farms and in agriculturally used landscapes. Specific terms for specific forms of agroforestry are needed before we can understand the strengths and weaknesses of the use of woody perennials as providers of goods and services, and appreciate the opportunities for and threats to their further enhancement. The RAFT framework provides guidelines for the description and analysis of the ways trees are used and of use to rural livelihoods
