Overall, there is a high rate of success in adoption and in linking producers to markets, with particularly high sustainability rates among fruit trees and some hardwood varieties. Among the failed experimental plots, the role of social factors in planting, harvesting, and overall performance are discussed in detail. It is indicated that these social factors are key to long term sustainability for small-holder agroforestry.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightCash cropsAgricultureForestryAgroforestrySustainable forestrySmall holder enterpriseFarming systemsBiological performanceSmallholder farming systemsSocial factorsTropical agrisilvicultureFarm/Enterprise ScaleAbstractCopyright 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishershttps://doi.org/10.1023/A:1006347019689
