In a world increasingly challenged by the need to integrate and understand highly specialized knowledge in a multidisciplinary way, this book is innovative and perhaps unique in addressing this challenge. It focuses on ideas, strategies, techniques and practices spanning many disciplinesat the interface of agriculture with: forestry, horticulture, plant physiology, genetics, ecology, soil science, food science, economics, and the social and environmental sciences as delivered by intensified and enriched agroforestry. Multifunctional Agricultureaddresses this complexity, using case studies and insights from the needs of African farmers whose livelihoods are constrained by complex interactions between social, environmental and economic factors and problems underlying agricultural sustainability in Africa.This book, therefore, provides an important resource for those trying to understand the role of agriculture in the achievement of the new Sustainable Development Goals by providing easily implementable, practical and effective methodologies and practices.

Recenzijos

"...this book presents a thoughtful and scientifically rigorous analysis of the steps and processes needed to build a diversified and productive agriculture that allows the rural poor to break free of their existing poverty constraints. ...the book is a remarkable record of a scientific career devoted to changing the lives of the rural poor in Africa. For that last reason alone, it deserves the widest possible readership." --Food Security

"Leakeys book argues powerfully for the benefits of small-scale, diversified, multistrata agriculture and gives a comprehensive technical overview of how this might be achieved. The book is an excellent overview of the past three decades of the evolution of thinking and practice on agro-forestry." --International Forestry Review

"Leakeys posture of calling multifunctional a type of agriculture which incorporates trees is valid and gives the book an immense valuean incredible resource and a key reference for agroforestersHere is a book Ill keep forever at hand." --Forests, Trees and Livelihoods

Roger Leakey has diplomas in practical agriculture (NDA and CDA) and degrees in agricultural science (BSc, PhD, DSc), with truly global experience of field-based research in tropical agriculture, horticulture and forestry spanning nearly 50 years. He was Director of Research at the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF 1993-1997) and Professor of Agroecology and Sustainable Development of James Cook University, in Cairns, Australia (2001-2006). He has been Vice President of the International Society of Tropical Foresters and is Vice Chairman of the International Tree Foundation, a UK-based charity supporting development projects in Africa. He holds a number of Fellowships in learned societies, universities and international research centres. He was a Coordinating Lead Author in the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) which was approved by 58 governments in an Intergovernmental Plenary meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa in April 2008. This Assessment examined the impact of agricultural knowledge, science and technology on environmentally, socially and economically sustainable development worldwide over the last 50 years and suggested that to meet these challenges agriculture has to advance from a unifunctional focus on food production and to additionally embrace more environmental, social and economic goals i.e. to become multifunctional.
