 A006 Agroforestry Technology Information Kit
1992. International Institute for Rural Reconstruction (IIRR), Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) and the University
of the Philippines at Los Baņos (Agroforestry Program and the Agronomy Department. The Ford Foundation
provided the funding support
(EXT088)
Contains more than 60 brief, clear, illustrated Ieaflets on different strategies for integrating food
production and planting of multipurpose
trees. Among the general subjects covered are soil and water conservation, cropping systems, seeds and
plant propagation, tree
management and livestock production. Material was revised and updated in 1992. The second edition presents
the material in a set of six
topic-specified pocket booklets.
