Indigenous agroforests in Indonesia: complex agroforestry systems for future development

Export citation

Agroforestry tends to be largely promoted now but scientists or extension agents dealing with agroforestry programs still do not consider potentials offered by systems evolved from indigenous agroforestry practices. Most agroforestry projects are still promoted in villages from an "outside" will and with "outside" tree crops or mixed-cropping techniques, and often do not explore local "agroforestry" basis and potentialities nor sufficiently integrate local tree species and structures.
