Complex agroforestry systems in Sumatra

Export citation

Based o ten years of experience on agroforestry system research in samatra, and also quite alot of never evolving debates on what is agroforestry and what is not agroforestry, our most important result concerning what we have called ''complex agroforestry system'' are summarized here. Complex agroforestry systems are still ignored of depreciated by most research and extension services and are therefore facing numerous problems of recognition in Indonesia .However, more and more international institutions dealing with agricultural research and development quote these system as models of what should be encouraged in the humid tropics.
