AB The World Agroforestry Center/International Center of Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) is an international and intergovernmental organization established in 1978 to promote agroforestry research in developing countries.ICRAF was created in response to a visionary study led by John Bene of Canadas International Development Research Center (irdc).the study coined the term ''agroforestry'' and called for recognition of the key role trees play in farms.during the 1980s, ICRAF operated as an information council focused on Africa. It joined Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in 1992 to conduct strategic research on agroforestry at a global scale, changing its name from council to center.
