Summary:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the constraints holding back a fuller deployment of agroforestry systems in the Brazilian Amazon, and to identify opportunities for overcoming those constraints. By examining specific cases throughout the region, the study identifies important lessons that, if applied more widely, could help promote agroforestry and achieve a better balance of land use systems in the region.
