| Short Web Description: |
| Is there a need for a new curriculum development guide?Twenty-five years ago, very few educational institutions taught agroforestry. By 2005, the number of universities and colleges now teaching agroforestry has grown into the hundreds. Clearly, these institutions have developed their agroforestry curricula relatively recently. And still more institutions continue to introduce new agroforestry programmes. Consequently, agroforestry has become a subject or even a full programme at universities and colleges throughout the tropics, as well as in some subtropical and temperate countries. Not only has agroforestry education increased in terms of the sheer number of courses and programmes, it has also become a component of programmes such as environmental conservation and rural development. That is good news for sustainable development. But the job of introducing agroforestry as a mainstream subject is far from complete; many agroforestry curricula currently in use need revision in the light of our expanded understanding of the subject, and because the varied settings in which agroforestry is practiced keep changing. The primary aim of this guide is to facilitate teaching institutions in the development and review of agroforestry curricula. |
