Farming Systems Development Models

Lowland Agroforestry Production System

This is a 7,800 m² project, which aims to demonstrate appropriate and viable technologies of highly marketable fruit crops (i.e. durian, pomelo, rambutan) to provide additional income to farmers. It will highlight nursery establishment and management and will implement the following technology agenda: row-strip intercropping of annuals and perennial crops, organic farming and establishment and maintenance of Multi-Purpose Tree Species (MPTS) as boundary crops and windbreakers.
