Agroforestry Futures

The Multifunctional Agroforestry for Ethiopia project will generate evidence on how highland systems in the country could be improved for a more biodiverse future that supports improved livelihoods and poverty reduction.

Aims and Objectives

By comparing traditional and modern agroforestry systems in four regions of Ethiopia, the project will implement a suite of knowledge-based multifunctional agroforestry systems on homesteads, farmland areas, and model rural resource centres to promote uptake of multifunctional agroforestry. The project will generate scalable tools, approaches, knowledge products and capacity building for thousands of highland farmers. It will also develop a strategy, partnerships and infrastructure to lay the foundation for further land restoration, biodiversity protection, poverty alleviation, and improved ecosystem resilience.
