Transitioning to a Viable World
Agroforestry offers many benefits for transitioning to a viable world. In these sessions, researchers will dialogue with farmers and various stakeholders to explore the different ways by which agroforestry can bring solutions to different ecological, social and economic needs and challenges. Each session aims to present lessons that can be learned from farmers’ innovations, research projects, development initiatives and policies in order to help farmers, advisors, researchers and policy makers to contribute to agroforestry development for a transition to a viable world.
A. Transitioning to Healthy Soils
B. Transitioning to Better Water Balance and Light Valorization
C. Transitioning to Biodiversity
D. Transitioning to a Viable Climate
E. Transitioning to Food Security and Health
F. Transitioning to a Viable Economy
G. Transitioning to a Viable Society
H. Transitioning to a Viable Development

Agroforestry Solutions for Transition
Agroforestry was first developed locally by rural and indigenous communities all around the world. It thus comprises very diversified systems and techniques based on broad traditional knowledge. Farmers are also constantly innovating, sometimes in dialogue with other actors such as researchers and agroforestry advisors, emphasizing the need for contextual and systemic approaches when studying or implementing agroforestry systems. In these sessions, farmers, advisors, researchers and policy makers will explore together local agroforestry solutions based on farmers’ knowledge and continuous innovation to improve existing systems and develop innovative agroforestry solutions for transition.
