In the past decade, there have been growing concerns regarding information gap on the demonstrable impacts that investments of the CGIAR system in natural resource management technologies have had on farmers and the environment. In response, the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment of the CGIAR (SPIA) commissioned case studies in selected CGIAR centers aimed at evaluating and documenting the impacts of natural resource management technologies and other interventions that have been developed by CGIAR centers. This work presents a special case study of natural resource management technology- fertilizer tree fallows – the development of which was led by the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF). The study describes the technology, provides historical information on its development and evaluates its impact on improving the lives of farmers (especially resource-poor and small-scale farmers) and their landscapes
