Through practical examples from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, it is shown that agroforestry is not only economically and ecologically viable but also significantly contributes to the well-being of peasant families and the rural economy.<\/p><p>TROPENBOS called on policymakers, market actors, financial institutions, NGOs, and academic organizations to join forces in favor of the development and widespread adoption of agroforestry. It is recommended to develop supportive legal frameworks, create value chains for agroforestry products, invest in agricultural training, empower women, and provide technical assistance at all levels to eliminate barriers, harness the full potential of agroforestry, and generate positive change on a global scale.<\/p><p>Agroforestry in Action also underscores the need to develop locally owned agroforestry production systems to maximize their benefits, adapting to different environments and socio-economic conditions. With clear and tangible examples, this publication promotes the use of diversified, productive, and resilient farming systems worldwide.<\/p><p><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>More information:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Eduardo Somarriba<br>Senior Researcher<br>Agroforestry and Coffee and Cocoa Genetic Improvement Unit<br>CATIE<br><a href=\"mailto:esomarri@catie.ac.cr\">esomarri@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong> Written by:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Karla Salazar Leiva<br>Communicator<br>Communications and Marketing Office<br>CATIE<br><a href=\"mailto:karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr\">karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TROPENBOS International ha lanzado oficialmente su m\u00e1s reciente edici\u00f3n de Tropical Forest Issues (TFI), tituladaAgroforester\u00eda en Acci\u00f3n, en la cual Eduardo Somarriba, investigador senior del CATIE (Centro Agron\u00f3mico Tropical de Investigaci\u00f3n y Ense\u00f1anza), form\u00f3 parte del comit\u00e9 cient\u00edfico que dise\u00f1\u00f3 &hellip; <\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":26290,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"pmpro_default_level":"0","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[116,482],"class_list":["post-26288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-agroforesteria","tag-desarrollo-sostenible","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26288"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26293,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288\/revisions\/26293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
