CIFOR-ICRAF works in Bangladesh on the development and upscaling of agroforestry systems and practices for better livelihoods of rural households, with an emphasis on terrace and coastal ecosystems.

Our current research areas focus on developing multistorey agroforestry systems, establishing tree-based agroforestry systems in moderately saline zones, and improving fruit yield and quality.
