Book Guidelines for Training in Rapid Appraisal for Agroforestry Research and Extension

Download or read book Guidelines for Training in Rapid Appraisal for Agroforestry Research and Extension written by N. O. J. Abel and published by Commonwealth Secretariat. This book was released on 1989 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines are for training research and extension personnel in rapid appraisal methods for development of agroforestry in peasant land use systems. The guidelines are illustrated through reference to a training and research exercise where an agropastoral farming system in Shurugwi Communal Area, Zimbabwe was appraised in 1998.Four key principles underlie the methods used:* agroforestry interventions are identified and developed through working with and learning from farmers and the local community, as well as through conventional research assessment - "interactive research"* interactive research is best learned through real application not lectures or classroom exercises and simulations - "learning by doing"* "interdisciplinary" is a key to successful interactive research* agroforestry interventions are developed from an understanding of constraints and conflicts existing within the rural community over access to production resources.Nick Abel is a Lecturer in Natural Resources at the School of Development Studies, University of East Anglia with twenty years of research experience in rural East, Central and Southern Africa; Mike Drinkwater is a lecturer in Rural Sociology for Developing countries at the Agricultural University in Wageningen, The Netherlands and was formerly working with the Departments of Physical Planning and Agricultural, Technical and Extension Services in Zimbabwe; Julie Ingram is a soil scientist with experience in developing countries in Africa and Asia; Jonathan Okafor is the Chief Conservator of Forests in Enugu, Nigeria; and Roslyn Prinsley is the Project Officer for Agricultural Sciences at the Commonwealth Science Council in London, UK.

Book Advancing Agroforestry on the Policy Agenda

Download or read book Advancing Agroforestry on the Policy Agenda written by Gérard Buttoud and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Agroforestry is a dynamic, ecologically based, natural resources management system that, through the integration of trees on farms and in the agricultural landscape, diversifies and sustains production for increased social, economic and environmental bene¬fits for land users at all levels (ICRAF). Yet it is still considered a peripheral activity of agriculture and many farmers and other land users are ignorant of its benefi¬ts. This paper is a guide for policy-makers, advisers and other technocrats who wish to include agroforestry in the national agenda. It aims to assist countries to develop policy, legal and institutional conditions that facilitate the adoption of agroforestry and recognize its contribution to national development. Part I explains the benefi¬ts of agroforestry systems, the necessary conditions for its development, the barriers that have prevented its adoption so far, and the drivers, contextual and internal, that make it possible. Part II outlines 10 tracks for policy action, which if followed correctly will facilitate the development of national policies designed to promote the agroforestry concept and practices at plot, farm and landscape scale. Illustrated with case studies and examples of good practice from around the world, these guidelines are an invaluable addition to the agroforestry global agenda."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Agroforestry Education and Training Present and Future

Download or read book Agroforestry Education and Training Present and Future written by P. K. Ramachandran Nair and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest and initiatives in agroforestry education and training, as in other aspects of agroforestry development, have increased tremendously during the past decade. Coordination of such educational activities was initiated by the first international workshop on education in agroforestry organized by the International Council for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) in Decem ber 1982, at Nairobi, Kenya. Since then, agroforestry has been incorporated into the curricula of many educational and training institutions around the world. Moreover, several institutions have developed entire academic programs specifically in agroforestry. However, most of these activities are still isolated initiatives, without common strategies or philosophies. This second international agroforestry workshop was therefore planned to pro vide a forum for reviewing progress, sharing programs and experiences, and planning and coordinating future directions in agroforestry education and training. The main objectives were to review the on-going programs, to assess the scope of professional education and training in relation to the perceived needs of trained personnel, to recommend guidelines for further program development, and to establish networking among institutions and agencies involved in agroforestry education and training. These proceedings contain the keynote papers, regional/country presenta tions and conclusions and recommendations of the International Workshop on Education and Training in Agroforestry held at the University of Florida, Gainesville, USA in December, 1988. The strategy of the workshop was to facilitate focused discussion on identified issues by an invited group of world leaders in agroforestry education and training.
