Agroforestry Extension Resources

Criteria for inclusion of resources

Type of resource: Resources identified here include all types (printed material, electronic documents, web sites, videos etc.) with the following audiences and aims:
--- support to farmer to farmer extension, to use directly, or to adapt and improve for their local situation.
--- extension staff and facilitators farmers associations and NGOs, to design and prepare new material towards enhancing the sustainability of local production systems, that respond to identified local needs and market opportunities.
--- project managers, to understand and encourage consideration of a basket of agroforestry technologies in addressing food security, and the policies in support of related extension initiatives.

Selection of resource: They have been selected on the basis of:
--- ease of access (in printed or electronic form)
--- quality of content and presentation
--- relevance and breadth of topic coverage
--- applicability for transforming into new resources for different users and agro-ecological areas.

Language of resource: The majority of resources identified were in English, available from English language Internet sites. However, we are interested in resources that are available in any other languages, and we intend to have further versions of this site in French and Spanish. We are therefore particularly interested to have a better representation of resources that were originally produced in these two languages.

Resources listed will change as better examples are identified and included, and others deleted.
