This systematic map gives an overview of current evidence base on social-ecological impacts of agroforestry and the efforts to promote it. It presents the body of current literature as an easily navigable, systematic database to find the literature relating to different agroforestry practices and outcomes and different productivity, ecosystem service, and human well-being outcomes. I plan to submit this work for publication in scientific journals. I also plan to develop a website for the complete systematic map with interactive features to allow easy access and use of the database. This website will likely be similar to or integrated with the Evidence for Data and People Data Portal (https://www.natureandpeopleevidence.org/). The complete SM highlights linkages for further systematic review and identifies where additional primary research needed. However, while such evidence synthesis useful, it is currently very labor intensive, so we need to develop and refine tools to make the process more efficient (Cheng et al., 2018). Overall, a main take away is simply that further evidence synthesis is needed to evaluate what practices work, where, and why.

In this thesis, I identified gaps and concentrations in literature. I found that agroforestry practices are well-studied, but agroforestry interventions are not. There are also clear gaps in knowledge on the economic and human well-being outcomes of agroforestry. I created network graphs that allowed us to visualize and analyze the current state of agroforestry research, finding that the literature is fragmented and dispersed, but with concentration in a few journals. I found that the multiple outcomes are interdependent and co-studied (either as win-win scenarios, or as tradeoffs), and I found that local publications often missed by larger body of research.

reviews of available evidence. We found only 19 systematic reviews completed, which do not cover all the concentrations of evidence or cover all the global regions. Another major gap in the literature is impact evaluations of agroforestry interventions, which are needed to identify what types of policies and programs to support the adoption and implementation of agroforestry practices work, where, why, and how effective they are towards meeting social-ecological objectives. More research in general is urgently needed on economic and human well-being outcomes. These social-ecological outcomes may be key to understanding the current low rates of agroforestry adoption in HICs and help understand what types of programs and policies are necessary to advance the implementation of agroforestry practices. Furthermore, a suitability map of agroforestry practices would be useful to display geographically where agroforestry is a suitable option and what types of agroforestry practices should be considered. Modelling the potential impacts of such practices to create targeted programs and policies to help implement agroforestry practices and interventions more efficiently would also be useful.

I found that the agroforestry impact literature is highly fragmented and dispersed. It therefore may be necessary to reference context- or language-specific journals and publications when implementing agroforestry interventions for context-specific research. These local journals may not be cited in larger literature, so referencing them can help us avoid unintentional

duplication of studies and knowledge creation. Furthermore, we can broaden the audience by framing agroforestry research towards achieving sustainability and SDGs by targeting high- impact journals.

I believe that from this we can identify several possible paths forward to help bring agroforestry into the mainstream as a solution to help address food insecurity and health and nutrition through diversifying farm products and improving soil fertility, address poverty through

diversified income sources and tree-based market, and provide biodiversity and ecosystem services by providing habitat, sequestering carbon, and improving soil and water quality. Some key takeaways are that there is room to broaden the audience for agroforestry research by framing agroforestry impact studies to publish in journals with more diverse readers, extend the focus of agroforestry by bringing attention to economic and social dimensions of agroforestry since the emphasis is currently on environmental services (biodiversity, soil quality,

conservation), and create an environment of collaborative engagement to bridge the gap between individual research groups and disciplines to help bring the field together across the diverse array of interests. Agroforestry addresses a wide range of issues and has potential to address global human and environmental issues. Currently, agroforestry remains low on the policy agenda and is often overlooked by policy- and decision-makers. By working to synthesize the evidence on the impacts of agroforestry and joining efforts to create a more united voice for agroforestry, agroforestry may enter the international stage as a viable option to help address our current problems as a cost-effective “win-win” solution.
