CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Realising the potential of agroforestry: integrating research and development to achieve greater impact

Exporter la citation

For more than two decades agroforestry has been heralded and actively promoted as a practical and beneficial land-use system for smallholders in developing countries. This promise led to the establishment of the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) in 1978 and its support by the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) since 1991. Functioning initially as an information council during the 1980s, in 1991 ICRAF shifted its emphasis towards strategic research to strengthen the scientific basis for advocating agroforestry. This significant investment in process-oriented research greatly enhanced understanding of the opportunities and limitations of agroforestry and led to more critical assessments of its potential use (Sanchez 1995, 1999). As a result, agroforestry progressed from being an indigenous practice of great potential and romantic appeal to becoming a science-based system for managing natural resources.
