The (un)broken promise of agroforestry: Case study of governance for improved fallows in Zambia

Being able to provide multiple farm outputs, potential income, and other benefits is important for smallholders struggling to subsist and a development imperative for policy makers. In 1999, Pedro Sanchez, then Director General of the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), published an article entitled Delivering on the Promise of Agroforestry. His point was to show that agroforestry had evolved from a collection of activities to a full-fledged recognizable science that was bringing promising results to African farmer needs.
