Center for International Forestry Research – World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF)
The Center for International Forestry Research is a non-profit scientific research organization that conducts research on the use and management of forests with a focus on tropical forests in developing countries. World Agroforestry (ICRAF) generates science-based knowledge about the diverse benefits - both direct and indirect - of agroforestry, or trees in farming systems and agricultural landscapes, and disseminates this knowledge to develop policy options and promote practices that improve livelihoods and benefit the environment. ICRAF is a CGIAR Consortium Research Centre. ICRAF’s headquarters are in Nairobi, Kenya, with six regional offices located in Cameroon, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya and Peru.
