Resources for agroforestry : diagnosis and design

The book is organized in three sections which provide: (1) detailed step-by-step guidelines for each stage in the application of ICRAF"s diagnosis and design (D&D) methodology - prediagnosis, diagnosis, design, and follow-up planning; (2) twelve worksheets to facilitate the acquisition and processing of D&D information (the worksheets provide a defined set of output targets which give concrete form and direction to the sequence of interdisciplinary D&D team activities); and (3) the "heart" of the handbook - a lengthy appendix containing a variety of tools and materials corresponding to each of the four stages in agroforestry-oriented D&D, with further step-by-step instructions which are either optional or too lengthy for inclusion in part one. It is expected that the methodology will need to be adapted somewhat to fit particular applications and the needs of the user.
