The International Council for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) is an autonomous, non-profit, international institute governed by a Board of Trustees with equal representation from the de-veloped and the developing world. It is supported by voluntary financial contributions from governments and private, public and international organizations, supplemented by specially contracted activities in project evaluation, development and management. ICRAF's objective is to improve the nutritional, economic and social well-being of the people of developing countries by the promotion of agroforestry systems designed to result in increased productivity of food, wood and plant products without deterio-ration of the environment. Such systems at the same time build as much as possible upon local practices and cultures.
