TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine data on the mitigation potential of agroforestry in the humid and sub-humid tropics and present the scientific evidence that leads to the expectation that agro-forestry also has an important role in climate change adaptation, particularly for small holder farmers.

TL;DR: A multicountry comparative analysis of natural resource management programs conducted under the auspices of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research discovered six distinctive kinds of boundary work contributing to the successes of those programs—a greater variety than has been documented in previous studies.

TL;DR: The UK Government's Foresight Global Food and Farming Futures project as mentioned in this paper aims to improve dialogue and understanding between agricultural research and policy by identifying the 100 most important questions for global agriculture.

TL;DR: A review by a multidisciplinary team maps key components and emerging connections within the intellectual landscape of agroecology as discussed by the authors, and identifies forward-looking scientific questions to enhance the relevance of agriculture for mitigating environmental impacts of agriculture while dramatically increasing global food production, improving livelihoods, and thereby reducing chronic hunger and malnutrition.
