Abstract
The reports of the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development present multi-functional agriculture as a better agricultural paradigm for a productive and sustainable future than the current model of intensive industrial agriculture. Like multi-functional agriculture, agroforestry has the objective of promoting economically, socially and environmentally sustainable rural development. This paper briefly summarizes some of the major global issues of land degradation, poverty, malnutrition and hunger and examines how agroforestry can play a substantial role in the delivery of a better future, especially for poor small-holder farmers in the tropics.
