catalog abstract "This edited book, with papers contributed by eminent agroforestry professionals from eight countries, presents an account of land degradation and its associated risks, indigenous and improved agroforestry and grassland practices, their potential in sequestering carbon on wastelands. Socio-economic considerations of technology adoption by farmers in large numbers, and recent advances in agroforestry for specific situations in India, China, Australia, the UK, Indonesia, Nepal, Hungary, and Sri Lanka have also been accounted for. Besides these, the issues of environmental implications and for future development strategies have been highlighted. Agroforestry has emerged as a potential tool for checking land degradation, one of the serious threats facing mankind. Also, it has much to offer in providing diverse products for use by the ever-increasing human and livestock population on a sustainable basis. In the Asia-Pacific region the need for practicing such a technology is of special significance on account of decrease in land-man ratio and increase in deforestation rate to dangerous levels.".
