The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR and World Agroforestry (ICRAF) joined forces in 2019, leveraging a combined 65 years’ experience in research on the role of forests and trees in solving critical global challenges.
The Spatially Characterized Agroforestry (SCAF) Database is a central repository of Agroforestry data collected from smallholders across Vietnam.
The collected data includes information about:
- Agroforestry sites
- Agroforestry components (tree and crop descriptions etc)
- Biophysical conditions
- Social-economic conditions
- Market information
- Related policies
- Issues, challenges and risks
A web-based tool has been developed to assist navigation and query of the collected dataset. A link to the tool is available below.
