This volume contains a solid body of the current state of knowledge on the various themes and activities in agroforestry worldwide. It is organized into three sections: the Introduction section consists of the summaries of six keynote speeches at the 2nd World Congress of Agroforestry held in Nairobi, Kenya, in 2009; that is followed by two sections of peer-reviewed thematic chapters grouped as “Global Perspectives” (seven chapters) and “Regional Perspectives” (eleven chapters), authored by professional leaders in their respective agroforestry-related fields worldwide. A total of 130 professionals from institutions in 33 countries in both developing and the industrialized temperate regions of the world contributed to the book as chapter authors and/or reviewers. Thus, the book presents a comprehensive and authoritative account of the global picture of agroforestry today.

from the use of input-driven farming methods based on saleable products (inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, and machinery). Agribusiness multinationals are increasingly influential in setting the agenda for research and development in farming systems. And they are often supported by the agribusiness orientation of some developed country aid organizations. The short time horizons under which development investments are judged often militate against investments in agroforestry. Consequently, the
while the addition of organic materials such as straw and manure to rice (Oryza sativa L.) paddy fields can significantly enhance SOC and rice yield, the induced GHG Climate Change Mitigation and Agroforestry 41 emissions, especially CH4, have to be considered when judging the net effect of the practice. Fertilizer application can also influence the formation and stability of soil aggregates. The effect of fertilization practices on SOC can be dependent on the nature of the fertilizer as well
