| Abstract | This paper examines some of the environmental, social, economic and policy issues associated with the domestication and commercialization of trees for timber and non-timber forest products through agroforestry. Providing a thorough review of expected gains in product yield and quality through domestication, biological and economic possibilities, priorities and pitfalls were identified. |
