"Planters, scientists, policy makers and anyone else who is interested in trees will enjoy using the resources. (...) The present lack of knowledge globally about tree species and their uses is a major constraint in achieving the full potential of trees to help address the crises affecting all life on Earth. It is this knowledge gap that the Platform aims to help close. The benefits of increased access to improved knowledge include enhanced food and nutritional security for communities, higher incomes, healthier people and landscapes, and more and cheaper energy. Benefits also include effectively restored soils and forests and the better provision of ecosystem services, such as cleaner air and water." in World Agroforestry (ICRAF), Global Tree Knowledge Platform.
