Advancing agroforestry on the policy agenda. A guide for decision-makers

This policy guide shows how agroforestry can be integrated into national strategies and how policies can be adjusted to specific conditions of this land use and resource management system. It provides examples of best practices and success stories, as well as lessons learned from challenges and failures. The guide provides ten major tracks for policy action, including: raising awareness of agroforestry systems to farmers and the global community; reforming unfavourable regulations in forestry, agricultural and rural codes; and clarifying land-use policy regulations.
