At universities these three areas began within another department or departments, and after being moved into their own departments began to flourish and develop their own identity. However, the main question is what can or should be done to further the process? The increasing number of agroforestry projects in the world, the lack of trained agroforesters, and the estimated increased need for agricultural scientists are all indicators for the future demand for trained agroforesters. Career opportunities for professional agroforesters lie in three areas: as research scientists, as extension agents, or as development agroforesters. Two broad educational approaches to setting educational objectives are to (1) set objectives on the basis of the perceived problems likely to be encountered in agroforestry and (2) set objectives according to roles which agroforesters are likely to assume. The design of both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula are discussed. The unique core is the agroforestry system per se and the development of a systems analysis methodology. The institutional structure and clear goal definition can facilitate the development of an agroforestry program, but in the final analysis it is the dedication and enthusiasm of the individual staff that will count for success.
