Trimming

edit

I'm having a go at trimming this article which has become way too long at far over 100,000 bytes. Several solutions present themselves: 1) Much material is uncited, so I'm cutting it, we can't run about wondering where the WP:OR may or may not have come from. 2) The very long chapter on Farmer-managed natural regeneration is explicitly stated to be a land restoration practice, not agroforestry, and that it "complements the evergreen agriculture, conservation agriculture and agroforestry movements." In other words, it is a precursor or assistant to agriculture and agroforestry, but not part of it. I've therefore boldly demerged it as an honest error. 3) There's far too much sales talk; the tone needs to be neutral. 4) Several practices are described multiple times under different headings, so the article could do with a lot of rationalisation.

Chaotic listification

edit

This article is once again being subjected to random additions of instances, forming list-like clusters in ... random parts of the article. Thus we now have a trailing sub-list of very short listicle subsections on Burma, India, Africa, and Hawai'i at the end of 'Tropical'; an interestingly-named 'Examples/Projects' listino at the end of 'Urban'; and then another incipient listunculus with Americas and Southeast-Asia tacked on to 'Geographical distribution'. That's a ghastly mess of chaotic listification in multiple directions, and no mistake. Let's move the random bits and bobs to a list of instances of agroforestry and return to a decent structure. That structure is identifiable as covering specific sub-topics of Agroforestry as a topic, rather than instances and examples in random places. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:21, 26 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
