Science Interrupted examines how scientists in China pursue environmental sustainability within the constraints of domestic and international bureaucracies. Timothy G. McLellan offers a theoretical framework for analyzing the formal procedural work of Chinese bureaucracy—work that is overlooked when China scholars restrict their gaze to the informal and interpersonal channels through which bureaucracy is often navigated. Homing in on an agroforestry research organization in southwest China, the author takes the experiences of the organization's staff in navigating diverse international funding regimes and authoritarian state institutions as entry points for understanding the pervasiveness of bureaucracy in contemporary science. He asks: What if we take the tools, sensibilities, and practices of bureaucracies seriously not only as objects of critique but as resources for re-thinking scientific practice? Extending a mode of anthropological research in which ethnography serves as source of theory as well as source of data, Science Interrupted thinks with, and not only against, bureaucracy. McLellan shows that ethnographic engagement with bureaucracy enables us to imagine more democratic and more collaborative modes of scientific practice.

Agroforestry is a system of land management that integrates trees and shrub planting with crops of livestock in order to generate economic, environmental and social benefits. This book shows how agroforestry systems contribute in a variety of ways to ecological, social and economic functions. It includes technologies to improve soil fertility, provide fodder fruits, medicines, timber and fuel wood under agroforestry and shows how the knowledge and skills in agroforestry are updated. It helps one to understand the primary motivations that influence farmers to adopt certain agroforestry systems such as food security and improved livelihood. Agroforestry plays a distinct role in providing the farm household stable and ready source of food. The various agroforestry practices which help conserve and rehabilitate ecosystem and support integrated management of farmlands and rural spaces are discussed. It shows how agroforestry is a way of mitigating poverty in low-income countries as in Africa as it provides social and economic well-being to the people. Jathropa, the green fuel for income generation and cleaner environment is grown under agroforestry. The book covers a wide range of articles dealing with (1) agroforestry for improved livelihood; (2) agroforestry for food security and (3) agroforestry for environmental conservation the articles highlight how agroforestry contributes to biodiversity conservation, helps farm diversification while protecting the environment, yields goods and services to society and enhance the fertility of the soil there by preventing land degradation. Agroforestry system also acts as carbon sinks and help augment the carbon storage in agro-ecosystem.

Land degradation caused by salinity and waterlogging is a global problem afflicting about one billion hectares and endangering the food security of at least 75 countries. Since the social, economic and environmental costs of on and/off-farm reclamation techniques are high, agroforestry is now emerging as a potential tool, not only for arresting salinity and waterlogging, but also for other environmental services like mitigating climate change, sequestering carbon and restoring biodiversity. This publication addresses the vital issues, principles and practices related to rehabilitation using agroforestry and includes many site-specific case studies from a number of the world’s typical catchments. Written by leading researchers, the book is a must, not only for scientists whose research interests lie in soil salinity, waterlogging and poor-quality waters, but also policy makers, environmentalists, students, and educationists alike. More importantly, it contributes to reversing the salinity trends and ensuring the livelihoods of resource-poor farming families living in these harsh agro-ecosystems.

Agroforestry research is central to developing methods for the sustainable use of natural renewable resources, evolving to address the needs of the coming century. It is now necessary to consolidate the scientific gains now being made in process-oriented research and to develop a policy framework to encourage the adoption of sustainable land use practices. Agroforestry plays an important role in conserving forest resources, reducing the need for deforestation. Further, if `forest' is broadly defined as tree cover, agroforestry will also increase the proportion of woody biomass in farming landscapes. The papers selected for inclusion in Agroforestry: Science, Policy, and Practice establish agroforestry as an interdisciplinary science focused on the practical imperative of assisting farmers, forest dwellers and landscape-level planners to achieve sustainable food, fuel and timber production into the 21st century.
