Any proposed agroforestry research at ICRISAT should have an explicit link with crops in order to justify such research within ICRISAT{\textquoteright}s mandate. The development of an agroforestry program at ICRISAT should follow a farming systems research strategy based on strong links with target systems. And selection of species for research should be done carefully and purposefully with the target system in mind.}, keywords = {crop combinations, field crops, research , woody crops}, author = {Barry H.
