Synopsis Comprising 14 case studies (besides three introductory chapters) from diverse ecological regions of South Asia, this volume addresses two major themes: traditional agroforestry patterns and the response of farmers to farm forestry programmes. Based on fresh empirical data which are used to critically analyse existing theories and approaches to farm forestry, this book covers a wide gamut of issues related to agrarian dynamism and farm forestry programmes from a practical perspective. It will be of immense value to forest research institutes and foresters, development agencies and environmental groups besides policy-makers and those studying agricultural economics.
