This manual sets out the steps to guide rural advisory and agricultural extension workers to successfully integrate trees in rice-field and associated farms and landscapes using practical tools for implementing agroforestry practices on farms in Southeast Asia. Developed in collaboration by FAO with CIFOR-ICRAF, the manual builds on manifold experiences, consultations, and visits, especially in Indonesia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), the Philippines and Thailand. The FFS approach is introduced as one of the best ways to share learning and knowledge and to discover technologies.
En el proceso de gestión del conocimiento (científico, empírico u otro) para el desarrollo sostenible, el paso más crítico es lograr que el conocimiento generado llegue a ser conocido y adaptado por aquellos que más se beneficiarán del mismo. Este es el obstáculo más importante en los procesos de difusión y adaptación de nuevas prácticas, tecnologías y alternativas productivas.
Des conseils sont fournis sur les pratiques améliorées de gestion intégrée des sols et des nutriments pour la protection des ressources naturelles et l'amélioration de la production pour les petits producteurs à travers les Champs-écoles des producteurs (CEP).
The document for training of trainers on agroforestry focuses on curriculum preparation in Indonesia, and specifically on increasing the income of family farmers from their kebun (housegarden or pekarangan). It offers a ToT roadmap, and its curriculum should be seen as a living document with a foreseen training time of 4 months.The document is structured on five closely interrelated core training themes: agroforestry nurseries and planting; kebun management and improvement; training facilitation and networking; field school management and agroecosystems and watershed management.
