Advancing Multifunctional Agroforestry in Ethiopia: Evidence, Innovation and Policy Pathways

This brief outlines how the MAF4E project advances multifunctional agroforestry in Ethiopia through Living Labs that link science, community innovation and policy. It generates high‑resolution evidence on tree growth, soils and carbon, while piloting Rural Resource Centres and homestead agroforestry to create green jobs, improve nutrition and resilience.

Despite strong impacts, scaling requires a national agroforestry strategy, long‑term finance, stronger extension systems, market development and gender‑ and youth‑inclusive policies to meet climate and biodiversity commitments nationally
