Mission
ICRAF's mission is to harness the multiple benefits trees provide for agriculture, livelihoods, resilience and the future of our planet, from farmers’ fields through to continental scales.
Objectives
ICRAF works with cross-sectoral and transdisciplinary approaches with greatest attention around four priority themes:
- Improving Governance of Tree Crop Landscapes for Resilient Green Economies, Climate Change and Sustainable Environmental Services.
- Land Health Evaluation, Restoration and Investment Decisions.
- Resilient Productivity and Profitability of Agricultural Systems with Trees.
- Tree Productivity and Diversity: Realizing Economic and Ecological Value from Tree Genetic Resources.
The themes are supported by a Science Quality Platform and an Accelerating Impact, Learning and Capacity Development Platform.

The organization's beneficiaries include: scientists, policy makers, NGOs, civil society, other CGIAR research centres, people and agricultural systems in more than 28 countries.
