About the report

This study examines ways in which extension and advisory strategies can facilitate the successful adoption of agroforestry. The potential benefits from the adoption of agroforestry are both economic and environmental. Nevertheless, the adoption of agroforestry into Australian farming systems has been constrained to date. In addition to technical impediments, there are impediments associated with economic uncertainties, distorted markets, particular public policies, and lack of a farm forestry culture in most rural communities and among some agricultural advisers and forestry professionals. However, many of these impediments are being progressively removed.
