The International Council for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) is the international organization established by a group of donor countries to promote and assist national governments in developing necessary research in agroforestry. It is also concerned with agroforestry information, training, and education in this field. Agroforestry being such a vast and complex subject and ICRAF being a Council, the strategy of ICRAF is to focus on developing a landuse diagnostic methodology and capability to assess whether or not agroforestry system can in any specific situation be better than any existing landuse system. There is, also, a need to develop methodologies for establishing the kind of research to be carried out at the national level on developing appropriate agroforestry technology.
