Its vision is rural transformation in the developing world as smallholder households increase their use of trees in agricultural landscapes to improve food security, nutrition, income, health, shelter, social cohesion, energy resources and environmental sustainability. The Centre’s mission is to generate science-based knowledge about the diverse roles that trees play in agricultural landscapes, and to use its research to advance policies and practices, and their implementation to benefit the poor and the environment. The organization conducts research in 34 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. ASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins (ASB) The ASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins is working to raise productivity and income of rural households in the humid tropics without increasing deforestation or undermining essential environmental services. ASB is a consortium of over 50 international and national-level partners with an eco-regional focus on the forest-agriculture margins in the humid tropics, with learning landscapes in the western Amazon of Brazil and Peru, the Congo basin in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo, southern Philippines, northern Thailand, northern Vietnam and the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. © 2015 World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) Contents List of Figures, Tables and Boxes vi List of Abbreviations xii Foreword xviii Acknowledgements xx List of Authors xxii Summary xxxii Global Landscapes Map xxxiv Part 1: Introduction 1 1 Introduction and basic propositions 3 Peter A.
