The vision
Our vision is an 'agroforestry transformation' in the developing world resulting in a massive increase in the use of working trees on working landscapes by smallholder rural households that helps ensure security in food, nutrition, income, health, shelter and energy and a regenerated environment.
The mission We use science to generate knowledge on the complex role of trees in livelihoods and the environment, and foster use of this knowledge to improve decisions and practices impacting on the poor.
Our organizational values
Our values guide our priorities and directions and underpin
the way we go about our work. These values include:
- A fundamental respect for all persons with whom we work;
- The highest standards of professionalism in our activities;
- A culture of learning and evaluation permeating our strategy
and activities;
- Creativity and teamwork;
- Commitment to equitable and interdependent partnership,
mutually beneficial to all;
- Advancing diversity and gender balance in our organization;
- Maintaining an informal and transparent working environment; and
- Balancing work with family and community.
We believe that success in living and fostering these values is
fundamental to being a vibrant organization that will contribute
to knowledge and impact in the coming years and materially
ensure a Tree Revolution in the developing world.
