The World Agroforestry Centre’s East and Central Asia regional office (ICRAF ECA) is the region’s leading agroforestry research centre, aiming to improve livelihoods and environment by generating the science that underpins policy and agricultural methods. It is currently led by Prof Jianchu Xu.
We envision nothing less than rural transformation in our region – where smallholder households strategically increase the use of trees in agricultural landscapes and watersheds to improve their food security, nutrition, income, health, and energy sources while ensuring environmental sustainability.
Our mission, therefore, is to generate and disseminate knowledge about the diverse roles that trees play in agriculture and watersheds, in order to advance policies and practices that benefit the poor and the environment.
