Publisher's Synopsis
This manual is intended to help rural advisory and agricultural extension workers guide farming communities in the establishment of agroforestry practices in rice-production landscapes in Southeast Asia. It sets out the steps for successfully integrating trees in rice fields and associated farms and landscapes, and presents practical tools that extensionists can use to support farmers who are implementing agroforestry practices. The guide's ultimate aim is to support farmers in increasing overall productivity while strengthening resilience to climate change, improving the health of the surrounding environment, and enhancing the livelihoods of their communities.
