Agro-forestry for Bay Islands

Abstract

Agro-forestry is as relevent, meaningful and useful for Bay Islands as it is for any other part of country. Climate, topography, accessibility and cultivation condition of the islands are different than the rest of the country and so are the agro-forestry systems and some of them are quite specific to the islands. Large natural forest area, climate, topography, accessibility, local needs and land holding conditions strongly influence on fitness of agro-forestry systems for the islands. Suitable tree, shrub and herb species for different agro-forestry systems are mentioned.
