The Congress is structured to generate outputs that will shape the next steps in the field of integrative science, transformative change in landscapes, tree improvement, innovative tree-based value chains, debates on global and local sustainability, reform of land and tree tenure and holistic education.
AGENDA
The World Congress on Agroforestry will be held in Delhi, India, 10-14 February 2014, co-hosted by the World Agroforestry Centre and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. It will shape the next steps in the field of integrative science, transformative change in landscapes, tree improvement, innovative tree-based value chains, debates on global and local sustainability, reform of land and tree tenure and holistic education. The World Congress on Agroforestry 2014 (WCA14) will act as a springboard to accelerate the impacts of agroforestry, build people’s livelihoods, increase the vitality of the landscape and drive the adoption of large-scale innovations.
With the aim to significantly boost awareness, engagement and investments in agroforestry, the Congress will attract up to 1200 participants, including pre-eminent researchers, senior politicians and donors, as well as major businesses with concerns for sustainable development. WCA14 will produce a global roadmap with clear targets for the future of agroforestry.
