  • Toward Agroforestry Designby Shibu Jose; Andrew M. Gordon

    Springer 2008; US$ 219.00

    Jose and Gordon??'s Toward Agroforestry Design is an important reference for anyone interested in exploring or managing the physiological and ecological processes which underlie resource allocation and plant growth in agroforestry systems. Drawing together a wide range of examples from around the world, the book highlights how recent developments in agroforestry research can contribute to understanding agroforestry system function, and discusses the potential application of agroforestry in addressing a range of land use challenges in both tropical and temperate regions of the world. Including both original research and synthetic analyses, the book presents examples from a wide range of environments. It focuses largely on resource allocation... more...

  • Agroforestry in Europeby Antonio Rigueiro-Rodróguez; Jim McAdam

    Springer 2008; US$ 239.00

    While EU Rural Development policy recognises the economic, ecological, and social advantages of agroforestry systems, the implementation of such systems remains poor in most of Europe. This title includes papers that brings together some of the most important research in European agroforestry, and evaluates the scope of agroforestry across the EU. more...

  • Governing Agrobiodiversityby Regine Andersen

    Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2008; US$ 134.95

  • Agriculture, Biodiversity and Marketsby Stewart Lockie; David Carpenter

    Earthscan 2009; US$ 96.00

    Debate about how best to ensure the preservation of agricultural biodiversity is caught in a counter-productive polemic between proponents and critics of market-based instruments and agricultural modernisation. This book argues that neither position does justice to the range of strategies that farmers use to manage agrobiodiversity and other livelihood assets as they adapt to changing social, economic, and environmental circumstances. Chapters explore relationships between the exploitation and conservation of agricultural biodiversity and the livelihoods of agricultural communities, and evaluate the capacity of national and multilateral institutions and policy settings to support the protection and capture by communities of agrobiodiversity... more...

  • Agrobiodiversity Conservationby Nigel Maxted; M. Ehsan Dulloo; Brian V. Ford-Lloyd; Jose M. Iriondo; M. A. A. Pinheiro de Carvalho
