Abstract Agroforestry has potential for strengthening the climate change resilience of smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, food security challenges faced by smallholders will likely worsen due to impacts. provides and option resilience, while contributing access, income, health, environmental stability. To evaluate evidence such benefits, this systematic review identifies 22 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 2019 which assess agroforestry’s contributions mostly...
Land use and land cover (LULC) change causes biodiversity decline through loss, alteration, fragmentation of habitats. There are uncertainties on how LULC will in the future effect such biodiversity. In this paper we applied Change Modeler (LCM) Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs (InVEST) Scenario Generator tool to develop three spatially explicit scenarios from 2015 2030 Pulang Pisau district Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The is experiencing a rapid loss as result...
Swidden cultivation can contribute to deforestation and land degradation, which subsequently result in a number of serious environmental problems. This paper examines the economic social potential agroforestry systems barriers their widespread adoption, as use alternative swidden cultivation, may potentially help protect local forest. The Gunung Salak valley West Java, Indonesia is presented case study. Based on farmers' experts' assessment, costs benefits have been estimated, show that two...
One of the main causes tropical forest loss is conversion to agriculture, which constantly increasing as a dominant land cover in tropics. The forests greatly affects biodiversity and ecosystem services. This paper assesses economic return from tree agricultural landscapes two locations, West Java, Indonesia eastern Bangladesh. Agroforestry systems are compared with subsistence seasonal food-crop-based systems. Data were collected through rapid rural appraisal, field observation, focus...
When restoring degraded landscapes, approaches capable of striking a balance between improving environmental services and enhancing human wellbeing need to be considered. Agroforestry is an important option for land associated ecosystem functions. Using survey, key informant interview rapid carbon stock appraisal (RaCSA) methods, this study was conducted in five districts West Java province examine potential agroforestry systems practiced by smallholder farmers on landscapes. Six with...
Abstract Growing bioenergy crops on degraded and underutilized land is a promising solution to meet the requirement for energy security, food restoration. This paper assesses socioeconomic environmental benefits of agroforestry systems based nyamplung (tamanu) ( Calophyllum inophyllum L.) in Wonogiri district Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through field observations focus group discussions involving 20 farmers who intercrop with maize, rice, peanuts utilize species honey...
Despite ongoing debates about the viability of sustaining economic growth while maintaining environmental integrity, international sustainability agendas increasingly propose reconciling socio-economic development and global goals. Achieving these goals is impeded by limited funding a lack information on where financial flows to integrate environment are targeted. We analyze World Bank Global Environment Facility data investigate extent distribution such across tropics. find misalignment...
In Indonesia, smallholders have historically practiced agroforestry, which warrants examination in terms of food and livelihood security within sustainable community forest frameworks. Based on a literature review, we analyzed these two forms related to smallholder agroforestry practices. Findings indicate diverse systems, with 88% focusing non-timber products (NTFPs) 12% timber. While 42% prioritize direct supply, 58% emphasize income generation through product sales. However, that does not...
In tropical developing countries, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is becoming an important mechanism for conserving forests protecting biodiversity. A key prerequisite any successful REDD+ project, however, obtaining baseline estimates of carbon in ecosystems. Using available published data, we provide here a new more reliable estimate Bangladesh ecosystems, along with their geo-spatial distribution. Our study reveals great variability density different...
This paper investigates the types of agroforestry system that exist in Gunung Salak Valley, West Java, Indonesia order to characterize differences their basic structure and associated crop plant diversity. Data were collected through rapid rural appraisal, field observation focus groups, followed by household survey a sample 20 farmers. Five main systems (homegardens, fruit tree system, timber mixed fruit–timber cropping forest understory) study area, all them exhibit noticeable diversity...
Abstract Research was conducted in Alutilla Valley eastern Bangladesh to identify the nature of existing agroforestry systems and potential models that could ameliorate currently degrading forest resources Data were collected through farmer participatory research a structured quarterly survey two villages. Qualitative supplementary quantitative analysis methods used assess financial systems. Various patterns exist study site, but all have common principles, namely ‘integration with...
Large areas of deforested and degraded land, particularly peatlands, need a viable long-term solution for restoration, ideally one that ensures energy security without compromising food or biodiversity conversation. To address knowledge gap on the most adaptive bioenergy crop(s) lands, this research project assessed survival growth performance potential crops to restore burned peatlands. Our methodology compared species with survive in extreme environments, i.e., gamal [Gliricidia sepium...
SUMMARY Shifting cultivation is claimed as the major cause of drastic deforestation in uplands Eastern Bangladesh. Agroforestry considered one very few options to protect existing forest and, additionally, lift people out poverty trap. This paper indicates that agroforestry may not only be good for (agro)biodiversity and sustainability, but has a economic rate return. Both quantitative qualitative methods are used analyse data. The financial analysis systems give positive much higher net...
This paper examines the factors of rural-urban migration in Bangladesh. It is found that underlying cause mainly driven by economic and social i.e., unemployment, poverty, political ethnic conflicts, religious etc. In process push are more active then pull factors, as poverty unemployment always poor villagers to change their residence cities. After majority migrants comparatively improved livelihoods city. Although have contributed significantly growth gained from higher wages productivity...
Indonesia has 14 million ha of degraded and marginal land, which provides very few benefits for human wellbeing or biodiversity. This land may require restoration. The leguminous tree Pongamia pinnata syn. Milettia (pongamia) potential producing biofuel while simultaneously restoring land. However, there is limited information on this consideration. paper aims to address the scientific knowledge gap pongamia by exploring its as a in Indonesia. We applied literature review collect relevant...
