 A060 Agroforestry Extension Manual for Kenya
International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), Nairobi (Kenya). 189 p. 124 fig., 99 ref.
ISBN 92-9059-116-1
This is one of several manuals produced for East Africa and which form good models for the region. The
abstract states: "Many projects
have synthesized their experiences gained in agroforestry in Kenya and have developed relevant training
materials for extension workers.
This extension guide is written for extension workers both in government and non-government services
so that they can have a book that
covers agroforestry in Kenya. The book explains the factors that need to be considered in agroforestry.
A basic philosophy is that
agroforestry technologies for extension cannot be designed and imposed centrally but must be worked
out by extension officers and the
local land users."
