Agroforestry Today is a quarterly magazine that carries reports from
around the world on farming systems that focus on the integration of
trees, crops, and livestock, and the people who raise them. It is
one of the leading voices for agroforestry worldwide. While the
content deals mostly with sub-tropical and tropical agroforestry,
much of the information has universal applications (e.g.,
mycorrhizae, on-farm research methods, soil-plant interactions, tree
establishment methods, etc.)
Temperature Agroforestry Systems, edited by Andrew M. Gordon and
Steven M. Newman. 1997. CAB International, New York, NY. 269 p.
This is a landmark book on agroforestry for temperate regions.
Chapters include agroforestry practices in North America, New Zealand,
Australia, China, and Europe.
