The Seminar was the second major meeting of its kind in Kenya, the first one was held in 1980, to bring together a wide variety of professionals to highlight trends in agroforestry science and practice, facilitate the exchange of ideas and experience through plenary and working-group discus-sions and field tours, and set general guidelines and make specific recommendations for a national agroforestry research and development strategy for the next decade. The Seminar consisted of plenary sessions in which technical papers were presented. Poster sessions were also included as well as three field tours and five working-group meetings. The main objectives of the working-group meetings were to provide an oppor-tunity to the participants, based on their expertise and on what they gathered from the plenary sessions and field tours, to make specific recommendations on research strategies and priorities,extension strategies and packages, socioeconomic factors, education and training, and institutional issues in agroforestry research and development. The information generated at the Seminar has been provided in two publications, an executive summary and a complete seminar proceedings. The executive summary publica-tion contains an introduction, a list of the most importantrecommendations, summaries of 15 invited papers, and a list of participants. This publication, however, of the complete seminar proceedings contains the executive summary as well as all technical papers presented in the plenary sessions.
