World Agroforestry Centre
: Our Vision is an agroforestry transformation in the developing world resulting in a massive increase in the use of working trees on working landscapes by smallholder rural households that helps ensure security in food, nutrition, income, health, shelter and energy and a regenerated environment.
An agroforestry transformation involves a future in which millions of poor farming households have access to portfolios of adapted and productive tree enterprises that improve their livelihoods in a holistic way. Underpinning this transformation is the imperative of accelerated scientific research to ensure that the stream of necessary technical, policy and institutional innovations is forthcoming.
