The West Africa Forest-Farm Interface Project (WAFFI): Strengthening smallholder food security, income and gender equity within West Africa's forest-farm interface

Export citation

The forest-farm interface is a mosaic landscape of integrated management and production practices that combines agricultural, forest and livestock land uses. The interface is not a discrete line separating farms and forests but is a complex geographic and temporal mosaic of agricultural and forest land uses shifting across landscapes typically used by smallholders.
