Abstract:
Agroforestry research and development project operates under the agroforestry program of the Forestry Resources Research Institute (FORRI) of the National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO). The goal of the project is to contribute to improved livelihoods and the natural resource base. The project aims at improving land productivity, tree products and services for small scale farmers. This is through identification of tree species suitable for incorporation on farm; development of appropriate management techniques for trees in agroforestry systems; dissemination of agroforestry technologies in the various agro-ecological zones of the country, and assessing adoption rates and impacts of the agroforestry technologies and practices.
