    Driven by our vision of a world where all people have viable livelihoods supported by healthy and productive landscapes, our global team of science, research, development, institutional and resource professionals seeks to better combine the science of discovery with the science of delivery. To realize this vision, we focus on four key interacting themes: By combining more productive trees with more resilient and profitable agricultural systems and a sounder understanding of the health of the soil, land and people that is part of ‘greener’, better governed landscapes, we offer valuable and timely knowledge products and services to the global community as it tackles the major challenges of the Anthropocene. These include dealing with climate change; low soil carbon; widespread forest, tree and soil loss leading to degradation; poverty; demographic upheavals and conflict; and securing equitable futures for all with a special focus on women and children.

Viet Nam has committed to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions by 8 percent by 2030. Agroforestry can help Viet Nam live up to this commitment while simultaneously improving livelihoods and restoring landscapes. Agroforestry is the integration of trees, crops and/or animals on the same land. For example, commodity crops with shade trees, forest enrichment and diversified homegardens. World Agroforestry (ICRAF) estimates the total agroforestry area in Viet Nam to be about 900,000 hectares and that 10 million hectares are suitable for agroforestry. A recent ICRAF study indicates that the biomass carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems could reach 2.25 tonnes carbon per hectare every year based on a 10-year assessment.
