The Congress will assess opportunities that will leverage agroforestry science and development to promote sustainable land use worldwide.  Through keynote presentations, symposia and technical sessions, Congress participants will explore how agroforestry is making contributions to the global challenges of food security, climate change, biodiversity conservation and human health.
The three themes of the Congress are:
•         Food Security and Livelihoods
•         Conservation and Rehabilitation of Natural Resources
•         Policies and Institutions

The 2nd World Congress of Agroforestry will provide a global forum for agroforestry professionals to share knowledge, experiences and ideas, and to plan future strategies in agroforestry research, education and training of knowledge-sharing initiated during the 1st World Congress of Agroforestry held in 2004 in Florida, USA.
