� To provide a global forum for agroforestry professionalsto share knowledge, experiences, and ideas.

� To plan future strategies in agroforestry research, educa-tion and training, and development.

Planned publications include a state-of-the-art compendium of about 30 chapters, a book of abstracts of all presentations,and a Congress Declaration. Selected presentations will be published as peer-reviewed journal articles after the congress. TheCongress Declaration that will capture the discussions and deliberations during the congress will be developed for use as apolicy document for further promotion of agroforestry.

AGROFORESTRY began to attain prominence in the late1970s, when the international scientific community realizedits potentials in the tropics and recognized it as a practice insearch of science. During the 1990s, the relevance of agro-forestry for solving problems related to deterioration offamily farms, increased soil erosion, surface and groundwater pollution, and decreased biodiversity was recognizedin the industrialized nations too. Thus, agroforestry is nowreceiving increasing attention as a sustainable land-manage-

ment option the world over because of its ecological, eco-nomic, and social attributes.

Agroforestry research and development are, however, at acrossroads. The potential of the practices has been amplyillustrated, but the investment in a science base has notreached a level that can meet the demand for technologydelivery. It is time, therefore, to evaluate progress, assessavailable options, and design strategies for the future.
