Agroforestry, as a livelihood support option, requires a basic understanding of the landscape (PaLA), the drivers of land use changes (DriLUC), and poverty perceptions (PAPOLD), followed by the strength and weaknesses of the existing agroforestry systems (RAFT), the market (RMA) linked to profitability (PAM) and issues of land tenure (RaTA).

Specifically, agroforestry as a watershed management tool will require an assessment of the watershed function (RHA), landslide risks (RaLMA), spatial analysis of patterns and landuse change (RASA), landscape scenarios and baselines (FALLOW) and constrain analysis (WNoTree) with support from hydrology analysis (GenRiver & SpatRain), analysis of land use (ALUCT), indicator of watershed quality (FlowPer), tree-soil-crop interactions (WaNuLCAS) and tree*site matching.
