    Research

    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.

Christine Magaju
  • Research Associate
Country
Kenya

Christine Magaju is a research associate with World Agroforestry (ICRAF). She has over 5 years’ experience working with various stakeholders in East Africa on projects focused on enhancing the resilience of ecosystems and livelihoods. She has supervised and contributed to large-scale data collection to generate evidence on what works where, for whom, using the Options by Context approach. She has co-developed and implemented a participatory trade-off exercise to gather perceptions on the synergies and trade-offs of context-specific sustainable agricultural intensification practices. She contributed to the Biofuels project that assessed the potential for Croton megalocarpus to contribute to livelihoods in Kenya. Christine enjoys facilitating workshops as much as she does engaging with farmers in the field. She is currently finishing her MSc at the University of Nairobi, Kenya on agricultural resource management with a focus on soil and water.
