Abstract/Summary:
Agroforestry can provide many ‘environmental services’ while also providing goods for local consumption and trade. The World Agroforestry Centre is proud that along with the International Fund for Agricultural Development it was an early investor in this field through the innovative RUPES project in Asia that now has a counterpart in Africa in the PRESA project. We are happy to share this bundle six recent peer -reviewed papers that advance the theory and praxis of a more responsible way of managing natural resources along with poverty reduction.
