Landscape Alliance

About Landscape Alliance

Landscape Alliance transforms science into action, unlocking the power of trees, forests and agroforestry landscapes to advance planetary health and human well-being. 

Landscape Alliance is the operating name of the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the International Centre for Research on Agroforestry (ICRAF) and it works at the nexus of five interconnected areas where trees can make a difference:

• Biodiversity
• Climate
• Value chains
• Food
• Equity

Trees connect land and climate, farms and forests, economies and resilience, and people and planet. Landscape Alliance connects science with action, creating solutions from the ground up through inclusive partnerships, transdisciplinary research, and demand-driven innovation.

Vision: An equitable world in which viable livelihoods in resilient landscapes foster well-being for people, trees and the environment.

Mission: To harness the power of science and innovation to improve the benefits that forests, trees, soils and their sustainable management can provide to all of humankind, for a more resilient, equitable and prosperous future.
