This comprehensive collection presents four peer-reviewed literature reviews on tropical agroforestry, delving into various aspects and challenges of this field. In the first chapter, the authors address the complexities involved in integrating agroforestry into agroecological intensification and sustainable landscapes. They also explore the challenges of formulating policies that promote agroforestry and the challenges of scaling up agroforestry practices.
The second chapter examines the extent to which agroforests can achieve the goals of sustainable forest management, particularly in terms of biodiversity conservation, forest product supply, and carbon capture. It also highlights the potential limitations of system intensification in delivering ecosystem goods and services.
The third chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the ecosystem services that tropical agroforestry systems can deliver. It discusses practical approaches for conducting trade-off analyses between ecosystem services and plant biodiversity, aiming to improve the design and management of agroforestry systems.
The final chapter emphasizes the significance of cocoa-based agroforestry systems in global agricultural landscapes. It reviews different cocoa system technologies, such as cocoa-timber systems, and presents a four-step guide for analyzing the shade canopy of shaded cocoa systems to ensure a diverse and resilient agroforestry system is in place.
Overall, this collection offers valuable insights into the current state of knowledge and practices in tropical agroforestry, providing a foundation for further research and development in this field.
