Delivering on the promise of agroforestry

Export citation

The paper describes two contrasting agroforestry developments that are working effectively to assure food security, reduce poverty and enhance ecosystem resilience at the scale of small farmers. The first deals with the removal of biophysical constraints and the second the removal of policy constraints. Although the examples given originate from work done at ICRAF it is emphasized that there are several other examples of successful agroforestry that have been produced by a wide variety of institutions all over the world. Finally the paper addresses the core questions of the conference.
