This training manual is designed to provide easy-to-use information about agroforestry. The intended audience includes forest and agricultural landowners and growers, resource professionals and other educators; yet, anyone interested in establishing or managing trees for multiple functions on the landscape can use the agroforestry guidelines to assist in achieving success. This updated edition of the training manual is not intended to function as a comprehensive source of information on agroforestry. Agroforestry is both an art and a science. Therefore, do not use this training manual as your only source of information. Rather, it is designed as a tool to assist in the decisionmaking process. There are countless ways for trees to meet conservation, economic and societal goals, and we learn more each day about effective designs that better ensure agroforestry systems meet one or more of these specific objectives.
