Abstract
Tropical home gardens are an agroforestry practice found worldwide. From an analytical perspective little is known about this practice. The universality of their complex structure would indicate the existence of common objectives. The objectives and resulting implementation strategies will dictate the form, layout, species composition and management style of each home garden. Understanding the interrelationships between these various elements is one step toward utilising the advantages of home gardens in a range of agroforestry practices.
