FTA Highlight No.7 – Trees on Farms to Improve Livelihoods and the Environment
Trees are found in forests and outside the forest. Trees outside the forest are located in urban areas, on farms, and in natural plant formations that do not conform to the definition of forest (e.g. those in arid environments that do not meet minimum tree cover thresholds). Trees on farms (TonF) ar...

| description | Trees are found in forests and outside the forest. Trees outside the forest are located in urban areas, on farms, and in natural plant formations that do not conform to the definition of forest (e.g. those in arid environments that do not meet minimum tree cover thresholds). Trees on farms (TonF) are dispersed in pastures or crop fields, in linear features (live fences, windbreaks, farm boundaries and internal divisions, on the sides of roads and watercourses), in patches or in regular plantation arrangements, solitary or in groups, with regular or variable density. Numerous studies have documented the abundance and importance of TonF to farmers’ livelihoods and to the environment. However, TonF are: 1) “invisible” to and absent from the legal/institutional/policy/value chains/education/rural extension frameworks of most countries; and 2) suboptimally designed and managed. These factors prevent farmers, the private sector, and governments from fully realizing the potential of trees on farms. |
