| Abstract: |
| Agroforestry practices have received much attention in view of their
role in contributing to sustainable land use as well as addressing key aspects
of rural poverty. This paper approaches the issues with a focus on such areas
as, Nanggung Subdistrict, a marginal forest area endowed with rich natural
resources and with good access to urban areas of Jakarta. It also addresses the
process of the Vegetable Agroforestry (VAF) system being introduced and re-
sponded to by the farmers. It uses a framework facilitating assessment of the
early stage of the VAF adoption process. The framework is used to analyze
factors possibly affecting farmers' perception on VAF technology which will
lead to the decision on adopting the technology. It addresses both socioeco-
nomic characteristics and biophysical factors. This paper ends with a discus-
sion of the needs of maintaining the VAF adoption process in order to achieve
optimal impacts. |
