Agroforestry Extension Resources

How the resources were identified

Three main methods were used as noted below.

1.  Catalogued resources on the internet.

This was the main method. Several entry-points were initially investigated (these identified many more):

Additionally:

2. Un catalogued resources, identified by personal contacts, were investigated, and

3. Resources found by direct observation (e.g. in people's offices, for instance)

These latter two sources were negligible, as the study was, by design, limited to what was available through the internet, working from Oxford, UK. However, there may be many excellent examples of extension literature that remain "grey" because they have never been formally published in hardcopy or on the internet. It is hoped that this site might encourage readers who know of good examples to make them available
