摘要：

The problems of too much pressure on land for the production of food and wood for the increasing population have made it mandatory to look into the various ways of maximising the uses of agricultural land in different parts of the world. Under this high demand for land, the system of shifting cultivation which has been practised from time immemorial can no longer support the needs of farmers in Nigeria. As a result of this, the different agroforestry practices have received increased attention. The experiences obtained with shifting cultivation, homestead gardens, taungya, alley-farming and scattered farm tree methods including shelterbelt planting in the country are reviewed in this paper and some research findings on these practices are highlighted. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
