| dc.description.abstract | Agroforestry has been defined as "a sustainable land management system which increases the overall yield of the land by combining the production of crops, including tree crops, forest plants and/or animals simultaneously or sequentially on the same unit of land, and applies management practices that are compatible with the cultural practices of the local population (l) A more concise definition written by a Tanzanian is "agroforestry is hero defined as the rational and sustained use of a unit land area for the harmonious production of both agricultural crops and tree forest species, together or in sequence, primarily for the benefit of the local community. It will be noted how both these definitions include reference to the local population, and it is in fact the indigenous people to whom we must look for the original practice of agro-forestry in this part of the world. One of the most notable manifestations of indigenous agro-forestry is the practice of "shifting cultivation much misunderstood by early expatriate agriculturists who unfortunately passed their bias on to the local staff who came under their influence. The value of shifting cultivation, and the application of the lessons to be learnt therefrom in relation to the Region agricultural problems, are dealt with later, | en_US |
