Abstract
A review of recent experience in on-farm agroforestry research demonstrates that on-farm investigations may be usefully undertaken at any stage of research. Objectives may be to study existing agroforestry systems, to learn from farmers' knowledge, to access representative site conditions, or to elicit farmer evaluation of new technology. The weak scientific knowledge base about socioeconomic and technical aspects of agroforestry, the complexity of agroforestry systems, and the value of local farmers' experience make on-farm research unusually important in agroforestry.
