    Driven by our vision of a world where all people have viable livelihoods supported by healthy and productive landscapes, our global team of science, research, development, institutional and resource professionals seeks to better combine the science of discovery with the science of delivery. To realize this vision, we focus on four key interacting themes: By combining more productive trees with more resilient and profitable agricultural systems and a sounder understanding of the health of the soil, land and people that is part of ‘greener’, better governed landscapes, we offer valuable and timely knowledge products and services to the global community as it tackles the major challenges of the Anthropocene. These include dealing with climate change; low soil carbon; widespread forest, tree and soil loss leading to degradation; poverty; demographic upheavals and conflict; and securing equitable futures for all with a special focus on women and children.

Agroforestry Concessions (CUSAF) are a new opportunity for the adoption of agroforestry and sustainable land management practices, as well as to improve the livelihoods of thousands of Peruvian farming families.

In Peru, more than 120 thousand vulnerable farmers settled on an extension of 1 million hectares of public domain land (possessed and untitled), could access Agroforestry Concessions, thus recognizing their rights to formalize the production and commercialization of their forest products (timber and non-timber) on their farms and in the forests, without having to expand their agricultural frontiers.

Challenges in the implementation of Agroforestry Concessions in Peru

 

Las Cesiones en Uso para Sistemas Agroforestales (CUSAF) son una nueva oportunidad para la adopción de agroforestería y prácticas de manejo sostenible de la tierra, así como para mejorar los medios de vida de miles de familias de agricultores peruanos.

En el Perú, más de 120 mil agricultores vulnerables asentados en una extensión de 1 millón de hectáreas de tierras de dominio público (posesionados y no titulados), podrían acceder a una CUSAF, con lo cual se les reconocen los derechos para formalizar la producción y comercialización de sus productos forestales (maderables y no-maderables) en sus chacras y en los bosques, sin tener que expandir sus fronteras agrícolas.
