Problems related to land, trees and forests, as well as growing inequity cannot be solved if we do not understand and address unequal power relations and other governance challenges. Such research is essential to bring about (just) transformational change (what change, for whom) in policies, institutions and behaviours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CIFOR-ICRAF conducts applied research to reveal and propose solutions to patterns of inequity (e.g. gender, ethnicity, age); to improve understanding of the roles of forests, trees and agroforests for smallholder and Indigenous livelihoods, health and food security; and to explore and innovate with sustainable landscape approaches and multi-stakeholder processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
