Agroforesta scientific platform on agroforestry in Latin America has been working for 15 years on the development of sustainable and efficient coffee and cocoa-based agroforestry systems. The platform's members (CIRAD, CATIE, Promecafé, Bioversity International and ICRAF) are working with production and research and development actors to improve the performance of agroforestry systems in terms of productivity and profitability, as well as their contribution to the well-being of rural populations and the preservation of the environment and natural resources. Share with us the successes of 15 years of research at this event!

Further information to follow

Should I plant trees? Should I cut them down to collect wood? Is it better to convert my fallow land to grain, pasture or coffee? Workshop participants will put themselves in the shoes of a farmer who must make decisions based on various contextual and individual constraints and opportunities. The serious games presented in the workshop were developed with stakeholders (farmers, support services, government officials, etc.) following the Companion Modeling approach (ComMod). Following the game session, participants will discuss their experiences and the different contexts in which serious games may be relevant.

Workshop organized by CIRAD and the Berner Fachhochschule, with the support of dP Agroforesta.
