Congress highlights

We, the 1200 participants from 96 countries who gathered in Nairobi, Kenya for the 2nd World Congress of Agroforestry from 24 to 27 August 2009, recognize the significant progress made in the development of agroforestry as a science-based land-use discipline during the past three decades. The demonstrable role of agroforestry in sustaining crop yields, diversifying farm production, realizing ecosystem services and ensuring environmental integrity is leading to improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers. There is a global consensus that integration of trees into farms, grazing lands, and other production landscapes helps to promote social, economic, cultural, ecological and environmental benefits. With these developments in agroforestry we are now better positioned than ever before to capture the promise of multi-functional agriculture to make a difference in the lives of millions of people
