Abstract
Agroforestry has potential as a technology for resource-poor
farmers. Like modern high-yield intercropping systems, agroforestry has
several characteristics of interest: (1) complexity, .(2) productivity,
(3) risk; and (4) investment. Each characteristic has potential
advantages and disadvantages for the poor which can be manipulated and
improved with applied research.
