CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Key outcomes

  • CIFOR-ICRAF has contributed to the development of national agroforestry strategy, Climate Climate Smart Guideline for Tanzania and the draft strategies for Allanblanckia and cocoa development to guide in propagation, cultivation, market development and conservation.
  • More than 2,500 farmers in Tanga and Morogoro regions now grow and benefit from Allablanckia stuhlmanni, an underutilized indigenous tree with oil-rich seeds used in the food processing industry, thanks to the establishment of a domestication and value chain development programme through public-private partnerships.
  • Over 250,000 hectares of land have been restored in the Shinyanga Region of Northern Tanzania with the support of CIFOR-ICRAF efforts to rehabilitate land for sustained agricultural productivity, livestock production and improved rural livelihoods through the integration of traditional knowledge and engagement of multiple stakeholders.
  • Through training, on-farm research and adoption, more than 30,000 farmers with various agroforestry technologies (indigenous and scientific) produced and disseminated knowledge products for various audiences and over 46 graduate students and interns have been trained since 2010.
