North American Agroforestry, 3rd Edition, is a book that examines alternative land-use systems designed to bridge production agriculture and natural resource management. The volume explores how combining trees and crops fosters positive biological interactions across working landscapes.
The text outlines foundational agroforestry nomenclature, concepts, and agroecological principles for temperate zones. It addresses core practices such as windbreaks, silvopasture, and alley cropping, while reviewing how vegetative environmental buffers protect air and water quality.
The 2022 edition adds coverage of urban food forests, training and education, and agroforestry in Mexican contexts. The work serves environmental scientists, natural resource professionals, ecologists, and agricultural science students.
