Resumo(s)
The book is plenty of extraordinary information and
experiences about agroforestry practices and systems around the world including Africa,
America and Europe. Silvopastoralism is the most relevant agroforestry practice shown in the
book, but also silvoarable or alley cropping practices become important. Sessions and topics
deal with the enhancement of productivity of both the woody perennial and the lower storey
component of the agroforestry practice trying to cope with an increasing primary sector products
demanded by the world, but also highlighting the importance of the ecosystem services delivery
and considering the fulfillment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The
importance of agroforestry as one of the best tools available to mitigate and adapt to climate
change is also discussed in different papers. Biodiversity preservation and enhancement
through locally adapted agroforestry practices is also tackled as well as water and soil quality
and health. Social aspects and innovation promotion, needed to successfully reach the
necessary transition towards an extensive use of agroforestry, are also outreached in several
papers. The needed change of international, national, regional and local policies is described as
a mean to provide insights to foster the transition to agroforestry practices spread
