What is
Agroforestry?
For millennia, farmers
have nurtured trees on their farm and pasture lands and around their
homes. We define agroforestry as a dynamic, ecologically based,
natural resources management system that, through the integration of
trees on farms and in the agricultural landscape, diversifies and
sustains production. Our interest derives from the (potential)
social, economic and environmental benefits for all land users.

Participatory Watershed Management for the Ping River Basin Project Developing Watershed Management Organizations
in Pilot Sub-Basins of the Ping River Basin In order to help clarify the overall context of activities under this project, the first part of this report begins with an overview of the Ping River basin in the context of national and provincial patterns of economic growth and environmental change. The overview includes a brief introduction to some of the key natural resource management problems that are perceived as resulting from these changes, and major policy responses that have sought to address these problems. This is followed by a brief review of efforts that have sought to move toward development of basin and sub-basin level plans and organization in the Ping River Basin, including introduction of concepts related to natural and administrative hierarchies, and discussion of some key gaps and operational issues.

Landscape Agroforestry in Northern Thailand:Impacts of Changing Land Use in an Upper Tributary Watershed of Montane Mainland Southeast Asia The ASB research program in Southeast Asia2 seeks to understand processes and dynamics of land use change important in mountainous regions of mainland Southeast Asia, and to help facilitate development of technologies and policies that can improve land use management in these areas. The following sections describe how evolving agroforestry concepts and approaches are being applied in the context of ASB-Thailand and ICRAF activities in mainland Southeast Asia, with a focus on research activities being conducted in an upper tributary sub-basin watershed of northern Thailand. Major components of this approach have included: 1) characterizing the MMSEA eco-regional context; 2) establishing a partnership framework and benchmark research site; 3) identifying forest policy concerns and characterizing land use change in upper tributary watersheds; 4) building on experience with agroforestry modification, adaptation and innovation; and 5) establishing the ASB-Thailand research framework. This chapter presents results of our efforts under each of these components
