The big question : How does all this impact on the development of our focused scientific agenda?

These developments are consistent with our Vision of an agroforestry transformation in the developing world… R esulting 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.

Our Mission Goals are consistent with the integrated approaches needed ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
