The Spatially Characterized Agroforestry (SCAF) Database is a central repository of Agroforestry data collected from smallholders across Vietnam.

The collected data includes information about:

  • Agroforestry sites
  • Agroforestry components (tree and crop descriptions etc)
  • Biophysical conditions
  • Social-economic conditions
  • Market information
  • Related policies
  • Issues, challenges and risks

This tool has been developed to assist navigation and query of the collected dataset. To start navigating the data, select the Search item in the header menu or click on any features displayed on the map.

To read more about the SCAF tool, select the About item in the header menu.

You can also read more about Agroforestry and its importance.

A collaboration between various institutions across Vietnam, the Spatially Characterised Agroforestry database highlights agroforestry data captured from smallholders around the country.

The browser window has been split into two panels. The panel on the left (this panel) displays information about agroforestry features. The panel on the right displays a map of Vietnam, containing features that represent ecoregions, provinces and agroforestry sites.

  • Ecoregions refer to regional areas that share similar landscape characteristics.
  • Provinces displayed on the map are colored based on the ecoregion they are located in.
  • Sites represent dominant agroforestry practices that are performed in each province.
  • If a province is greyed out, it means that no information is available regarding key agroforestry practices that occur in that area.
  • The map will be updated to reflect selections made on the left panel and vice versa.

What is Agroforestry?

Agroforestry refers to the practice of integrating trees into agriculturally productive landscapes.

Agroforestry is typically performed on farms and in landscapes in order to ensure that products and services provided by trees continue to benefit rural and urban communities.

At the center of this process is the agroforestry tree or shrub that provides products and services such as fruit, fodder, firewood, timber, medicine, soil fertility, shade, erosion control and carbon sequestration.

Why is Agroforestry important?

Typical agriculture and development practices involve clearing natural vegetation. In order to ensure the benefits that trees provide are sustained, it is crucial to consider methods of production that integrate agroforestry.

Some of the livelihood and environmental benefits that trees and agroforestry provide include:

  • Enriching the asset base of poor households with farm-grown trees.
  • Enhancing soil fertility and livestock productivity on farms.
  • Linking poor households to markets for high-value fruits, oils, cash crops and medicines.
  • Balancing improved productivity with the sustainable management of natural resources.
  • Maintaining or enhancing the supply of environmental services in agricultural landscapes for water, soil health, carbon sequestration and biodiversity.

In order to gain a better understanding of agroforestry and the World Agroforestry Centre's role to improve agroforestry practices, please see the World Agroforestry Centre's website.
