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.

Confronting land degradation in Africa: challenges for the next decade

Exporter la citation

This chapter presents five challenges for integrated natural resource management research at the World Agroforestry Centre within the theme of Land and People:1. What are the determinants of the adaptive and adoptive advantages of the available technological options for sustainable soil fertility management 2. How can the functions of the soil community be optimized with respect to different ecosystem services 3. What are the trade-offs between the storage of organic matter in the soil (to counter climate change effects of gaseous emissions) and its use to drive nutrient cycling, crop production and other eco¬system services4. What are the key questions arising from interactions in the chain linking resource management–system intensification–market access–policy5. What are the rules governing cross-scale transitions in natural resource managementThese issues will require both holistic and reductionist interdisciplinary methodologies working across a range of scales, but many of the necessary tools have been put in place during previous work.
