ACTIVITIES

Developing strategies

  1. Given the relatively recent awareness of agroforestry as an alternative approach to landuse, there is a need for each country to identify potential roles for such an approach in development, vis-a-vis more conventional ones, as a guideline for allocating research resources.

  1. ICRAF/ISNAR teams will visit interested national institutions in each zone to acquaint themselves with on-going or planned agroforestry activities and to assist these institutions in discussing strategic issues (see 27 - 32).

  2. On the basis of these discussions ICRAF/ISNAR will prepare a proposal for a zonal agroforestry strategy, including suggestions on zonal organizational structures and indicating objectives for component-specific research projects in the zone.
