Contributor(s): Clarke, William C | Thaman, Randolph RMaterial type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: Tokyo ; New York : United Nations University Press, c1993Description: x, 297 p. : maps ; 25 cmISBN: 9280808249Subject(s): Agroforestry -- OceaniaDDC classification: SHS 634.9 C51a 1993 LOC classification: S494.5.A45 | A37513 1993Summary: "This study examines the diverse traditional systems of agroforestry that have evolved over millennia in the Pacific Islands. 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."
