As part of its “Secured Landscapes” initiative, ICRAF has asked The Munden Project to analyze the financial viability of a specific set of sustainable practices. The aim of the project is to improve the social and environmental impact of smallholder agriculture, agroforestry and forestry activities, while achieving better financial performance in three developing countries: Cameroon, Indonesia and Vietnam 2. The end goal is to foster sustainable land use practices that are attractive targets for financial investors to deploy capital. To enable intelligent investment decisions for both public and private actors, we have developed a model to assessthe financial performance of different land use activities. We have used this model to compare the income derived from existing production relative to theagroforestry practices that ICRAF would like to implement in Indonesia, Vietnam and Cameroon. This process introduces a basic and reliable cost - benefit analysis of the proposed investments.The Introduction provides context for our quantitative findings by briefly describing the key features of the landscape under analysis. The second part of the report provides background analysis of each landscape, followed a detailed description of how the model was constructed and how it operates in the third section before presenting our results in the fourth.
