An increasing number of institutions in Southeast Asia have recognized theimportance of agroforestry education as a response to rapid land use change.Agroforestry education and training programmes provide knowledge, skills and attitudes to contribute to the sustainable development of upland and lowlandagroecosystems. Many universities and colleges already teach the subject and continue to develop and review their agroforestry courses and programmes. Many others are planning to introduce agroforestry courses at different educational levels.Agroforestry incorporates a wide range of disciplines, including agriculture, forestry economics, social sciences, human ecology, etc. While agroforestry education needs contributions from many fields of education, most educational institutions are organized sector-wise. New approaches to curriculum development and the teaching-learning process may be required to embrace the multidisciplinary and integrative aspects of agroforestry.
