A teacher’s guide on markets for agroforestry tree products: curricular framework and case study materials

Year of publication 2007
This guide is intended primarily for university lecturers but could also be used by extensionists and community development workers who wish to conduct training on the subject matter for members of the community and local government staff. It is divided into three major parts, namely: 1) The SEANAFE's Markets for Agroforestry Tree Products Project; 2) The SEANAFE's Markets for Agroforestry Tree Products Curricular Framework; and 3) Country Case Study Materials. Part 1 provides a brief background on the SEANAFE MAFTP project enumerating the salient processes through which this guide was generated. It also highlights the team and participatory approaches adopted and the major outputs produced by the project. Part 2 explains the context in which the SEANAFE MAFTP curricular framework fits with the agroforestry education scenario in the region, its process approach, and key themes, including suggested descriptions, methods of teaching, and reference materials. Part 3 presents the country cases and offers ways to effectively use them for teaching MAFTP. It provides suggestions for encouraging critical thinking among students, including guide questions and discussions, suggested teaching activities and further reading. This, however, should not limit the users but are encouraged instead to further explore the other potential applications of the cases as teaching materials.
