“Beyond question, agroforestrycan greatly improve life forpeople in the developing world,and do so within a reasonablyshort time.”Bene et al. 1977
Keywords:Millennium Development Goals, fertilizer tree systems,expanded tree cropping, improved tree product processingand marketing, agroforestry transformationChapter 1Science-based agroforestry and the achievementof the Millennium Development GoalsDennis Garrity, World Agroforestry CentreAbstractThe Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of the United Nations (UN) are at the heart of the globaldevelopment agenda. This chapter examines the role of agroforestry research for development in lightof the MDGs. It reviews how agroforestry is materially assisting to achieve the goals. And it discusseshow the agroforestry science agenda can be realigned to further increase its effectiveness in helpingdeveloping countries to meet their MDG targets. Promising agroforestry pathways to increase on-farmfood production and income contribute to the first MDG, which aims to cut the number of hungry anddesperately 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 advancescan 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 anew frontier for agroforestry research for development. A major role is also emerging in the domain ofenvironmental services, particularly the development of mechanisms to reward the rural poor for thewatershed 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 forthat 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.IntroductionAchieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)is at the heart of the global agenda. The goals embodythe world’s aspirations to eliminate desperate hungerand poverty, ensure decent health, enable universaleducation and elevate the status of women, whileconserving and regenerating the global environment.Attaining these goals is the greatest challenge of ourgeneration. Their accomplishment will bring benefitsto everyone, including greater economic abundance,peace, and security to all people on the globe. Successin achieving the MDGs requires overcoming hungerand poverty in ways that are more thorough, comprehensiveand holistic than ever before. We must attackthese problems at their roots, through developmentthat permeates the heart of rural poverty in the developingworld.A clear vision is evolving that articulates how agroforestryresearch and development can contribute
