National Forestry Policy Review; key emerging issues for Reflection and consi...Dr. Joshua Zake
This presentation was prepared and delivered during a workshop that involved Members of Parliament on the Natural Resources and Climate Change Committee of Parliament. The workshop was organized by the Ecological Christian Organization. The objective of the workshop was to create awareness among the Honorable members of Parliament about the ongoing review of the National Forestry Policy, (a process coordinated by the Forest Sector Support Department in the Ministry of Water and Environment). Furthermore, to get their general feedback and specific inputs into the review process with due consideration of the various emerging issues in the Forestry sector over the last 18 years since the forestry policy and legal framework came into force in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Thus, the presentation raised various emerging issues in this respect for consideration during the review process and also suggested recommendation on how the Honorable Members of Parliament should proactively engage in the process to ensure that resultant policy framework adequately addresses the emerging issues and also stands the taste of time.

Overview of Agribusiness potential in Nigeria, the investment opportunities that abound and the advantage for intending small scale investors in the sector
Presentation by Robert Nasi, Director of the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry, on the CGIAR - held at CIFOR's partners' meeting in Nairobi in February 2015.
Forests are cut, temperatures rise and biodiversity is lost. The poor become poorer and indigenous cultures disappear. With the rise in temperatures, fires increase, droughts lengthen, floods spread, and pests and diseases affecting livestock and plants adapt and multiply. What many are calling a 'perfect storm' gathers strength and the impact rolls across the developing world from the forests to the farms to the atmosphere. This scenario stems in large measure from the poor management of our forests, trees and wild genetic resources.
The CGIAR research program outlined in this presentation brings together four of the world's leading research centres in their respective subjects - the World Agroforestry Centre, CIFOR, CIAT and Bioversity - and channels them toward a clear objective: enhancing the management and use of forests, agroforestry and tree genetic resources across the landscape from forests to farms.
The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Nepal Agricultural Economics Society (NAES) are jointly organizing Annual Conference of Nepal Agricultural Economics Society on February 13-14, 2015 at Conference Hall, Trade Tower, Thapathali, Kathmandu, Nepal. During the annual conference of NAES, a special session on “Convergences of Policies and Programs relating to Sustainable and Climate Resilient Agriculture” is being organized. The aim of this special session is to showcase the studies and experiences in South Asian countries on climate resilient agriculture and how they can learn from each other to formulate progressive and sustainable policies to promote climate smart agriculture in a regional perspective.
Integrated Landscape Initiatives: An Emerging Paradigm for African Agricultu...EcoAgriculture Partners
There is growing consensus that the Green Revolution trajectory followed in Latin America and Asia is not fully appropriate for Africa; instead, greater emphasis on social and environmental outcomes is needed.
Integrated Landscape Initiatives provide a model for agricultural development that satisfies these demands. This presentation explains.

7. a set of rulesCan emanate from: Intergovernmental body National Government Municipal Authority Private Company Institution Consumer Group Association Village Individuals
14. Why an Agroforestry Policy Initiative? 1. Growing recognition of and interest in agroforestry Agroforestry practiced on roughly half of all agricultural lands globally Agroforestry recognized as a critical land use for climate change adaptation and mitigation Increased promotion of agroforestry by development organizations and calls for its upscaling, e.g. by the African ministers of agriculture, and through a new regulation law passed in Kenya
15. Prevalence of Agroforestry Recent studies show that: There are about 1 billion ha of agricultural land globally with at least 10% tree cover, representing 46 % of agricultural land Of this area, some 374mi ha have more than 30% tree cover National studies in several countries have found trees on farms to be increasing over time NB: Not all trees outside forests (TOFs) are necessarily in agroforestry formations. The purpose of planting/retaining trees and their use is an important consideration
16. Opportunities Urbanization and industrialization is opening new vistas for tree-based products Potential to reduce pressure on forests by planting trees that produce sought after products (e.g. timber) Rising awareness of the role of trees in livelihoods and environmental improvement Renewed interest to regenerate degraded lands Climate change mitigation and adaptation Increased policy recognition and interest
17.
18. property rights laws or arrangements that may discourage agroforestry
19. fragmentation of agroforestry related mandates across ministries
20. incentives favoring short term over long term investment
21. Inadequate recognition, valuation, and reward of environmental services from agroforestry
22.
23. Multi-sectoral approach to an improved policy environment for agroforestry Rural development – providing rural conditions conducive for promoting investment, growth, and prosperity in agroforestry and other enterprises (e.g. infrastructure, electricity) Agriculture – providing needed information services in agroforestry and catalyzing growth opportunities where private sector is absent or inefficient Forestry – creating incentives that conserve priority natural forest habitats while not discouraging planting, management, and harvesting of trees elsewhere in the landscape Environment (water, soils) – including agroforestry as an option to be used in appropriate conditions to address water and soil problems Commerce – including tree products among the opportunities analyzed for potential growth areas and support Lands – enhancing long term rights to communities and smallholders Energy, water etc
24. So the Concept of an Agroforestry Policy Initiative was hatched within ICRAF Explored by the ICRAF board in 2008 and became a formal research area in 2009 Internally, an API is useful to help coordinate and prioritize our research and knowledge to action efforts in the area of policy – e.g. help to clarify our major impact/outcome pathways But for an API to have significant outcomes or impact, ICRAF would ideally have a supportive research role within a wider demand driven process also involving partnership with FAO and other organizations closer to direct policy and development support
30. ICRAF role in an Agroforestry Policy Initiative To provide scientific leadership and evidence to the API in the following areas: (1) assessing the multiple domains of contributions of agroforestry to livelihoods and ecosystem services and quantifying them where possible, (2) identifying the nature of various policy constraints to agroforestry and measuring their extent and magnitude, (3) providing evidence on good policy practices that enhance agroforestry impacts on livelihoods and ecosystem services, (4) providing guidance on successful processes and approaches for policy reforms and implementation in agroforestry, and (5) providing a forum for learning and sharing knowledge within the API. And, with others, to catalyze and champion progress in improved polices for agroforestry
31. World Agroforestry Centre Progress in this area: 2009-2010 Presentations to raise awareness of agroforestry policy issues at the World Agroforestry Congress, August 2009, World Forestry Congress, October 2009 and now IUFRO 2010 Consultations with potential partners and users at the Agroforestry Congress Engaged in policy discussions at global and national level Undertaking various research activities of relevance to the initiative In process of hiring a policy scientist to join the initiative Joining the FAO led collaboration on ‘Agroforestry guidelines for national policy and decision making’ with CATIE and CIRAD.
32. In conclusion, We welcome thoughts and ideas on how we can forge partnerships and collaborative actions to: Stimulate greater awareness of the policy importance of agroforestry Identify best ways of supporting policy making processes that are relevant to agroforestry And especially to explore how our efforts can effectively reach to national levels, where policy changes can have the most profound impacts
