Evidence of strong policy effects with respect to the adoption of agroforestry,• 9 EU Countries with Naonal Agroforestry Policy the policy arena for agroforestry is complex, and collaboration• 2013 AF included in new CAP in EC and coordination would seem to enhance likelihood of success • Some keyNov 2014, AF added as eligible in CDM for LULUCF policy areas for agroforestry include: • • unintendedAF is one of two eligible migaon acons in adverse effects of forestry regulations • property rights laws or arrangements that may discourage agroforestry EC 2020 Climate Policy • fragmentation of agroforestry related mandates across ministries • incentives favoring short term over long term investment • Inadequate recognition, valuation, and reward of environmental services • poor information and germplasm systems in agroforestry

Privileged to be invited by India to work with them on an Agroforestry Policy

Related to several other GOI processes India set a goal of moving from 24% tree cover to 33% tree cover by 2030 Now part of India INDC ICRAF is the only Non-State Actor included 42% of all Government Tax Revenue to States $85 billion p.a. total 7.5% ($6 billion) weighted by tree cover One of largest PES in world ($120 per ha p.a.) Supported by an Agroforestry Mission ($160 m)
