Let Nature Take Its Course: Conservation farming with natural vegetative strips features a simple and popular conservation farming practice that has been widely adopted by farmers in the Philippines. It was pioneered by farmers, and developed with the help of scientists and extensionists. Natural vegetative strips provide a foundation for successful upland agroforestry on sloping land, through which farmers not only increase their income but minimize soil erosion.

To more fully reflect our global reach, as well as our more balanced research and development agenda, we adopted a new brand name in 2002 'World Agroforestry Centre'. Our legal name -- International Centre for Research in Agroforestry -- remains unchanged, and so our acronym as a Future Harvest Centre -- ICRAF -- likewise remains the same.
