Attention is also given to present-day urban agroforestry, to agroforestry as practised in conjunction with monocultural cash-cropping, and to the modern agroforestry projects promoted by governments and international funding agencies. The study is based on an aggregate of several decades of research on Pacific Island ago-ecosystems by the five contributors. We intend the study to be a contribution to an increase understanding of the diversity and utility of traditional agroforestry systems in the Pacific. Our further purpose is to provide an inventory of Pacific trees and a description of Pacific Island agroforestry systems that might serve as bases for further development or re-development of Pacific agroforestry in the pressures for agrodeforestation."
