These can be productive functions (production of ‘basic needs’ such as food, fodder, fuelwood, other products, etc.) On an ecological basis, systems can be grouped for any defined agro-ecological zone such as lowland humid tropics, arid and semi-arid tropics, tropical highlands, and so on. Several criteria can be used in classifying them, but the most common include the […] ISNAR, The Hague, McDonald LH (ed) (1982) Agroforestry in the African Humid Tropics.

The terms found in the literature are analysed and a classification and terminology by type of agricultural output, by major function, and by distribution of time and space, are proposed. There are three main types of agroforestry systems: Agrisilvicultural systems are a combination of crops and trees, such as alley cropping or homegardens.

Agroforestry systems have often been neglected in Europe because administrative structures within many national governments have considered that only agriculture or forestry are legitimate within their remit. Therefore classes are commercial, intermediate or subsistence. Forestry Faculty, Gadjah Mada Univ.
