Since 2003, CIFOR-ICRAF has operated its South Asia Research Program (SARP) from its office in New Delhi. In collaboration with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), we jointly develop a progressive five-year work plan implemented with farmers and communities, in support of the national research institutions, universities and non-governmental organizations. CIFOR-ICRAF is also an implementing partner of the Sub Mission on Agroforestry with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, along with ICAR. Using an integrated approach, our projects aim to promote the development and adoption of new technologies and to build capacity among scientists and in institutions.

The CIFOR-ICRAF India office is being developed and promoted as a technology hub for South Asian countries, providing assistance in the development of country-specific agroforestry policies, as well as technological support and capacity building.
