CIFOR-ICRAF has been carrying out research related to natural resource management, including forestry and agroforestry, in Zambia since 1985 and has worked with a wide range of government agencies and non-governmental organizations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently research areas include integrated pest management, agroecological approaches to fall armyworm control, sustainable agricultural intensification, improving nutrition through tailored portfolios of food trees, forest ecology and conservation, community forest management, integrated landscape approaches, forests-fish linkages, participatory charcoal kiln efficiencies, indigenous tree regeneration capacities, sustainable wildlife management, quantifying the collection and consumption of foods from forests. Working with the Forestry Department, CIFOR-ICRAF is leading the implementation of a large-scale forest dynamics plot as part of the global ForestGeo network, and with support from the World Bank, we are implementing surveys using the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework for baseline monitoring of forest restoration in Eastern Province.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
