On July 17th-20th, 2022, the 5th World Congress on Agroforestry: Transitioning to a Viable World, will be held in Québec City, Canada, as well as in virtual mode. This congress, organized by Université Laval, in partnership with the International Union for Agroforestry (IUAF) and World Agroforestry (ICRAF), will be an opportunity to stimulate an open and inclusive dialogue between various stakeholders from around the world including farmers, researchers, advisors, policy makers, and representatives from the government, the civil society and the private sector. Agroforestry helps improve soil health, protect water quality, increase biodiversity, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and provide food security, health and revenues. It is an essential component of the needed ecological, energetic, social and economic transition. This critical transition can and must be achieved through a participatory collaboration process that builds bridges between research, policy decisions and field work. The 5th World Congress on Agroforestry will participate in creating or strengthening those connections by promoting knowledge sharing for a transition to a unified and healthy world.
