Environmental Policy

ICRAF work in the area of environmental policy focuses on bridging gaps: between science and policy, and between good environmental stewardship and sustained rural development. We address these gaps through two integrating frameworks: negotiation support systems which balance competing expectations of the environment and new approaches to providing recognition, rewards and compensation for environmental services. ICRAF seeks to influence international policy processes through the provision of targeted advice on how agroforestry can better contribute to the goals of regional environmental plans and the multilateral environmental agreements.
