World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF)

We live in a world of escalating challenges that amplify each other in alarming ways.

These can only be met through inclusive, science-based approaches. And trees – whether in forests or on farms – are a key part of the solution.

The Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) works at the nexus of five interconnected areas where trees can make a difference:

• Biodiversity
• Climate
• Value chains
• Food
• Equity

Trees connect land and climate, farms and forests, economies and resilience, and people and planet. CIFOR-ICRAF connects science with action, creating solutions from the ground up through inclusive partnerships, transdisciplinary research, and demand-driven innovation.

Vision: An equitable world in which viable livelihoods in resilient landscapes foster well-being for people, trees and the environment.

Mission: To harness the power of science and innovation to improve the benefits that forests, trees, soils and their sustainable management can provide to all of humankind, for a more resilient, equitable and prosperous future.
