Despite the very considerable body of on-farm experience which has been gained in testing agroforestry and other tree-based technologies for their impact on increasing productivity and on rural income generation, investment in agroforestry, tree planting and landscape restoration has been lagging. This activity aimed to shed light on potential private investment opportunities and identify policy, regulatory and institutional constraints that could be lifted to help tap this potential.
The three-day event in May explored the potential for private sector investment in trees and landscape restoration opportunities in Africa. Forum proceedings, presentations and background papers are now available online.
PROFOR's 2010 Advisory Board meeting was held at the FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy.
