About

The Trees on Farms (TonF) project is aimed at building the awareness of the role trees on farms can play in biodiversity conservation in PeruIndonesiaHondurasUganda, and Rwanda. Their rationale is simple – trees play a critical role in contributing to biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes through in-situ conservation, by connecting fragmented wild habitats and providing steppingstones between protected area networks and conserving soil biodiversity and agrobiodiversity. They are useful and profitable to farmers as they provide a range of goods and services from fuelwood to controlling water runoff. Farmers need them, and the planet does too. TonF project website allows the audience to access information needed in targeting the problem, providing wide range of information in the topic through vast publications, data portals, and recent news.

Partners

TonF is funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and implemented by the World Agroforestry (ICRAF) in partnership with the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñza (CATIE), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Gorge-August-Universität Göttingen and Leibnitz Universität Hannover.
