The document discusses tools developed by the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) for assessing agroforestry systems, water harvesting, conservation agriculture, and negotiating environmental services payments. ICRAF has developed rapid assessment tools to evaluate carbon stocks, biodiversity, hydrology, agrobiodiversity, landslides, and drivers of land use change. These tools help support negotiations around payments for environmental services in Southeast Asia by providing quick appraisals of biophysical and socioeconomic factors. The tools are available online through ICRAF's library to help communities, researchers and policymakers evaluate landscape management options.

2. Outline of presentation
• Quick introduction to the World
Agroforestry Centre and ASB
• Tools for improved agroforestry systems,
water harvesting and conservation
agriculture
• Tools for negotiation support and rewards
for environmental services

3. World Agroforestry Centre
(ICRAF)
Mission is to generate science-based knowledge
about the diverse roles trees play in agricultural
landscapes and to use its research to advance
policies and practices to benefit the poor and the
environment.
Locations: Headquarters in Nairobi, Regional Teams
in East Africa, Southern Africa, West and Central
Africa, Amazon Basin, South Asia and Southeast
Asia.

4. ASB Partnership for the
Tropical Forest Margins
• Alternatives to Slash and Burn (ASB) began in 1994
• ASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins in 2006
• Network of international and national organizations known for sound
comparative studies across the margins of the humid tropical forests
• Global Coordination Unit at the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) in
Nairobi and regional coordination for SE Asia, Africa and the Amazon

5. Tools for improved agroforestry
systems, water harvesting and
conservation agriculture
• quality germplasm that is appropriate to the local
context
• management systems that integrate trees
effectively into farming systems and agricultural
landscapes
• water harvesting for domestic use and agriculture in
water constrained areas of Africa and South Asia
• conservation agriculture in East and Southern Africa
