Reducing poverty, ensuring food and nutrition security for all, addressing climate change, protecting natural resources and ecosystem services, and achieving sustainable production and consumption are among the greatest challenges of our time, from the local level to a global scale. The CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA), led by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), is the world’s largest research for development partnership recognizing that forests, trees and agroforestry are central to solving these challenges.
