| Name | Alternatives to Slash and Burn Programme |
| Description | Alternatives to Slash and Burn Programme (ASB) is a global partnership of over 50 institutions around the world with a shared interest in two of the greatest challenges confronting the world today: conserving forests and reducing poverty in the humid tropics. ASB was founded in 1994 as a system-wide programme of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The programme was born out of two crucial recommendations agreed to at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, appearing in Chapter 11 (Combating Deforestation) of Agenda 21:“Limit and aim to halt destructive shifting cultivation by addressing the underlying social and ecological causes ” “Reduce damage to forests by promoting sustainable management of areas adjacent to the forests”ASB is convened by the Nairobi-based International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) and is governed by a global steering group of 12 representatives from participating institutions. |
