Leveraging the world’s largest repository of agroforestry knowledge, ICRAF conducts research, generates practical solutions, and disseminates expertise to governments, development agencies, and farmers, enabling more sustainable, productive, and resilient agricultural systems. Headquartered in Nairobi with regional programmes in Sub‑Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America, ICRAF’s work supports food security, poverty reduction, and climate‑smart land management, aligning with multiple Sustainable Development Goals. Funded by a diverse mix of governments, foundations, and private partners, the organization delivers agroforestry research, technical guidance, and capacity‑building services that help integrate trees into farming landscapes for improved livelihoods and environmental outcomes.
