Agroforestry Systems Improvement research in Southeast Asia focuses on the development of alternatives to unsustainable slash-and-burn agriculture, and the rehabilitation of degraded uplands. This work is targeted to three of the region's key ecosystems: The forest margins, the imperata grasslands, and the sloping permanent farmlands.This was the second year of ICRAF's program in Southeast Asia. We formulated a central hypothesis to focus the work in each of our three key ecosystems. We began implementing research in Indonesia and the Philippines to addresses the three issues.
