Abstract/Description

Nepal's national agroforestry policy, developed with technical support from ICRAF, is expected to eliminate the barriers faced by farmers in harvesting, transporting and selling their agroforestry products and will be key to improving the livelihoods of smallholders and in enhancing their resilience to climate change. The policy-development process is an outcome of a national consultation organised jointly by the Government of Nepal and ICRAF that resulted in the 2015 Kathmandu Declaration on Agroforestry.
