    This document provides an overview of agroforestry diagnosis and design (AF D&D). It defines key terms like land use systems and the International Center for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF). It explains that AF D&D is a systematic approach to applying the principle that "diagnosis should precede treatment" in agroforestry. The key features of AF D&D are that it is flexible, allows for rapid initial assessment with deeper analysis later, and is an ongoing learning process. The basic logic of AF D&D involves diagnosing existing land use systems, identifying problems and solutions, designing improvements, and planning implementation and adjustments. Procedures include macro and micro D&D levels

    AGROFORESTRY

    DIAGNOSIS AND
    DESIGN.
    BY: Mawlynnai Benson Kharkongor.
    Meanings……
     Land Use System:
    It is define as the distinctive combination of crops,
    livestock, trees and other production components.
     Agro-forestry D & D:
    Agro-forestry Diagnosis and Design.
     ICRAF
    International Center for Research in Agro-forestry.
    Introduction:
     ‘Diagnosis should precede treatment’
     It is difficult to decide just which AF practice is best suited
    for a given land-use situations. At the same time exert a
    priority call on scarce research resources and what are the
    priorities of research are likewise difficult to decide. Thus,
    AF D & D becomes an important aspect in taking
    decisions. The ICRAF has developed fieldworkers to plan
    and implement effective research and development
    projects. D & D IS SIMPLY A SYSTEMATIC
    APPROACH TO THE APPLICATION OF THIS
    PRICIPLE IN AGRO-FORESTRY.
    Key Features of D & D.
     Flexibility: the procedures are very flexible which can
    be adopted to suit the land users.
     Speed: D & D has been designed with the option of a
    ‘rapid appraisal’ application at the planning stage of
    the project with in-depth follow-up during project
    implementation.
     Repetition: D & D is an open ended learning process.
    Since initial designs can almost always be improved,
    the D & D process need not end until further
    improvements are no longer necessary.
    Basic logic of AF D & D.
    Basic Question Key factor to consider
    Pre-diagnostic stage Distinctive combination of resource
    Which land-use system? technology and land-user objectives.
    How does the system work? Production objectives and strategy
    subsystems and components.
    Diagnostic stage Problems in meeting objectives, casual
    How well the system work? factors, constraints, and intervention
    points.
    Design and evaluation stage Specifications fro problem solving or
    How can the system be improved? performance enhancing interventions.
    Planning stage D & D needs, extensions needs.
    How can the improved technology be
    developed and disseminated?
    Implementation stage Feedback from research trials,
    How can the plan of action be adjusted to independent farmer innovations etc.
    new information?
    Procedures of AF D & D
     Macro D & D
     Micro D & D
    Macro D & D
     An agro forestry research program normally begins with a
    macro D & D exercise covering an entire ecological zone
    within a country. This consists of a rapid appraisal, based
    primarily on secondary information complemented by a few
    selected surveys in the field. The selection of the zone is
    basically on the following factors:
     Contribution to food production and the national economy.
     Population or area.
     Urgency of problems or importance of unexploited potential.
     Level of agricultural development and land-use
    intensification.
    Micro D & D.
     The primary focus of the analysis is the management unit that
    makes decisions and shares resources, objectives, labour and
    products. Analysis of a land-use system comprises all the
    characteristics that affect its management and performance. The
    characteristics are:
     Location: administrative and political divisions.
     Environmental characteristics. (zones, altitude……)
     Socio-economic. (population…….)
     Land-use. (size of the holdings…….)
     Resources/supporting service. (labour……….)
     Development activities and policies.
    Criteria of good AF Design.
     Productivity.
     Sustainability.
     Adoptability.
    THANK YOU.
