It is important that the research, extension, federal and state agencies, NGOs, associations, cooperatives, and the private sector continue to build and develop the knowledge network and infrastructure to support the growth of agroforestry. With dedicated, collaborative efforts, agroforestry practices will become increasingly important within North America’s food, forage, and fiber production systems. It is hoped that this text provides support for innovative approaches to maintaining the long‐term ecological integrity and productivity of the nation’s farm and forest lands. Such is the essence of our society’s quest for sustainability.
