Enhanced farm-level climate adaptation and household food security and nutrition for smallholders in Kenya and Rwanda.

Improving the sustainability of coffee and black pepper farming systems and value chains in the Central Highlands.

This project aimed to identify priority research, development and collaboration opportunities for sustainable, inclusive and competitive coffee and black pepper value chains in the three target provinces of the Central Highlands of Vietnam In conjunction with ACIAR project SLAM/2018/209, this project is collecting baseline information and undertaking a situation analysis of the Robusta coffee and black pepper agribusiness contexts.

Developing and promoting market-based agroforestry options to improve livelihoods and enhance forest and landscape management in northwest Vietnam.

Increasing forestry smallholder income in Indonesia by developing and promoting improved timber and non-timber forest products’ production and marketing.

The “Agroforestry for Livelihoods of Smallholder Farmers in Northwest Vietnam” (AFLi) was a five-year project (2011-2016). The project’s aim was to improve the performance of smallholder farming systems in northwest Vietnam through agroforestry. It sought to increase the productivity of associated crop and livestock systems, leading to more diverse and sustainable production systems and better income from tree products.

This project aimed to support the scalable establishment of effective and equitable innovation platforms that enhance food security through greater engagement of smallholder farmers with markets.  A decade of economic growth throughout East and Southern Africa is reshaping food value chains, as incomes, urbanisation and demographics influence agricultural markets. But opportunities remain elusive for many smallholders, especially women, to benefit.

This project aimed to develop and improve integrated timber and non-timber forest production systems in Indonesia, enhance value chains and marketing strategies, improve policy frameworks, and expand integrated timber and non-timber forest production systems. Planting trees and managing non-timber forest products has been an important part of Indonesian farmers' livelihoods' strategies for a long time. Smallholders could produce non-timber forest products. Trade volumes are small, but niche markets are likely to grow.
