The word "innovation" recognises that agroforestry practices do exist everywhere in the world. However, to be able to effectively respond to global challenges and changes (demography and social changes, climate, local to international markets), speaking about "innovations" implies that these practices could be improved or transformed or reintroduced everywhere they had disappeared or are in decline. This reality is still current despite the significant number of research and innovation programmes, the volume of mobilized funds and the number of participating organizations. Increasing adoption of agroforestry practices also requires long term planning and coordination because trees' life cycles are often longer than human life. This special issue includes papers on some agroforestry innovations that merit consideration for scaling up, on successful experiences that answer priorities expressed by stakeholders while taking into account their constraints, and on systemic approaches and frameworks to the development of more comprehensive perspectives on scaling up. specialized Adaptation Agroecology Co-created innovative practices Livelihoods improvement Resilience Sustainable development 082 076 021 Seghieri Josiane ed. edt IRD Droy Isabelle ed. edt IRD Hagdu K. ed. edt IRD Place F. ed. edt IRD 95 7 (No spécial) 1245-1249 2021 0167-4366 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082815 10.1007/s10457-021-00689-5 0167-4366 [F A010083681] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082815 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2021-10/010082815.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-10-06 2025-02-24 fdi:010082815 fre
