Abstract

A strategy is proposed to develop tactical models describing the management decisions required by a farmer/landowner to implement a temperate agroforestry system. The strategy consists of three phases: evaluation, technical and outreach. The evaluation phase defines the clientele, their needs and the types of agroforestry systems required. The tactical model is constructed, guided by the results of the evaluation phase, in the technical phase. The outreach phase presents the completed model to the clientele. This strategy is a framework that coordinates multidisciplinary activities providing a depth of knowledge about the system's productivity and ensures the relevance of the model by involving farmers as coparticipants in research.
