“Beyond question, agroforestry can greatly improve life for people in the developing world, and do so within a reasonably short time.” Bene et al. 1977
Keywords: Millennium Development Goals, fertilizer tree systems, expanded tree cropping, improved tree product processing and marketing, agroforestry transformation Chapter 1 Science-based agroforestry and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals Dennis Garrity, World Agroforestry Centre Abstract The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of the United Nations (UN) are at the heart of the global development agenda. This chapter examines the role of agroforestry research for development in light of the MDGs. It reviews how agroforestry is materially assisting to achieve the goals. And it discusses how the agroforestry science agenda can be realigned to further increase its effectiveness in helping developing countries to meet their MDG targets. Promising agroforestry pathways to increase on-farm food production and income contribute to the first MDG, which aims to cut the number of hungry and desperately poor by at least half by 2015. Such pathways include fertilizer tree systems for smallholders, and expanded tree cropping and improved tree product processing and marketing. These advances can also help address lack of enterprise opportunities on small-scale farms and child malnutrition. The rate of return to investment in research on tree crops has been shown to be quite high (88%). But enterprise development and enhancement of tree product marketing have been badly neglected. Tree domestication, and the commercial processing and marketing of tree products and services is a new frontier for agroforestry research for development. A major role is also emerging in the domain of environmental services, particularly the development of mechanisms to reward the rural poor for the watershed protection, biodiversity conservation, and carbon sequestration that they provide to society. Agroforestry research for development is contributing to virtually all of the MDGs. But recognition for that role must be won by ensuring that more developing countries have national agroforestry strategies, and that agroforestry is a recognized part of their development agenda. Introduction Achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is at the heart of the global agenda. The goals embody the world’s aspirations to eliminate desperate hunger and poverty, ensure decent health, enable universal education and elevate the status of women, while conserving and regenerating the global environment. Attaining these goals is the greatest challenge of our generation. Their accomplishment will bring benefits to everyone, including greater economic abundance, peace, and security to all people on the globe. Success in achieving the MDGs requires overcoming hunger and poverty in ways that are more thorough, comprehensive and holistic than ever before. We must attack these problems at their roots, through development that permeates the heart of rural poverty in the developing world. A clear vision is evolving that articulates how agroforestry research and development can contribute
