This strategy document sets out the World Agroforestry Centre’s role in responding to livelihood and environmental challenges through tree-based systems in agricultural landscapes. These challenges include poverty and hunger, food insecurity, ill health, energy scarcity, biodiversity and habitat loss, climate change, and resource degradation. The document defines the Centre’s vision, mission and values and identifies the challenges that confront the poor, especially the ‘bottom billion’ who continue to live under extreme poverty. It addresses in some detail the environmental and resource degradation problems common throughout the tropics and identifies pathways through which the Centre’s research can respond to these global challenges. In addition, the text lays out our research agenda for the next 7 years and articulates how the Centre will implement its ambitious research-for-development agenda.
