Agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests (AF-TOF) systems are vital for South Asia’s ecological health, rural livelihoods, and climate resilience. These multifunctional land-use systems are deeply embedded in the region’s agricultural and cultural fabric, offering food, fodder, fuelwood, timber, and ecosystem services to millions of people. Yet, their full potential remains untapped. Despite favourable agroecological conditions and growing domestic demand for wood and tree-based products, South Asian countries remain heavily dependent on imports, with the regional wood trade deficit crossing USD 9 billion in 2022. At the same time, AF-TOF systems face persistent challenges, including restrictive policies, underdeveloped value chains, inadequate investment, and limited technical support. In this context, TREESCAPES is a flagship initiative of CIFOR-ICRAF, envisioned as an inclusive platform that brings together diverse voices to foster dialogue, collaboration, and innovation to unlock the potential of agroforestry (AF) and Trees Outside Forests (TOF) in shaping resilient economies, thriving communities, and sustainable landscapes.
