Species Profiles for Pacific Island Agroforestry

Abstract

Agroforestry is a vital aspect of sustainable agriculture in the tropics, and producers increasingly seek tree species for use in crop diversification, windbreaks, coastal protection, shade, soil improvement, water conservation, livestock fodder, woodlots and other applications. This project produced a series of 10to 32-page fact sheets for 83 of the most important agroforestry species in the region. Each fact sheet provides information on products, uses, interplanting applications, environmental requirements, propagation methods and cultivation techniques. Publications and outreach:
