The goal of AFIP is that small farmers throughout Bangladesh have ready access to quality planting material of desired varieties of agroforestry species - as a result of a systematic national programme of QPM development and distribution involving key stakeholders'. Agroforestry - particularly the mixed cultivation of a wide variety of trees and crops (fruit trees, timber trees, bamboo, vegetables, spices, medicinal plants) in and around homesteads - is of immense importance to the livelihoods of small and marginal farmers in Bangladesh, who represent over 50 % of the total rural population and for whom the homestead constitutes the main resource base for their livelihoods.
