The extent of agroforestry practice in Fiji and Vanuatu has significantly declined, and that numerous constraints are impeding its expansion.This book identifies technical opportunities and constraints and explores financial, policy and legal measures that could facilitate sustainable agriculture and agroforestry as a viable replacement for unproductive land in Fiji and Vanuatu
