Classification of agroforestry systems

Classification of agroforestry (AF) systems is necessary in order to provide a framework for evaluating systems and developing action plans for their improvement. The AF Systems Inventory (AFSI) being undertaken by ICRAF provides the background information for an approach to classification. The words "system", "sub-system" and "practice" are commonly used in AF literature. An AF system refers to a type of AF land-use that extends over a locality. Sub-system and practice are lower-order terms in the hierarchy with lesser magnitudes of role, content and complexity. In common parlance however these terms are used loosely and almost synonymously.
