In Southeast Asia (SE Asia), the profile of agroforestry is rising rapidly as national governments, institutions and farmers increasingly recognize the potential of agroforestry to solve land-use problems.

As various actors in SE Asian countries grapple to apply agroforestry in development agendas and projects, their efforts are hampered by the lack of adequately trained persons to manage and implement agroforestry initiatives.
