climate risk adaptation by smallholder farmers the roles of trees and agroforestry
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2014Co-Authors: Rodel D Lasco, Rafaela Jane P Delfino, Delia Catacuta, Elisabeth Simelto, David M WilsoAbstract:Smallholder farmers are vulnerable to environmental, climate and weather-related stress, including climate change. There is an increase in understanding of the benefits of agroforestry systems both at farm and landscape scales, and that incorporating trees on farms through agroforestry systems has emerged as having the potential to enhance the resilience of Smallholders to current and future climate risks including future climate change. Drawing on global examples with a focus on African case studies, this paper demonstrates the versatile roles of trees and agroforestry in reducing smallholder's exposure to climate-related risks. It goes on to identify challenges in the promotion and adoption of agroforestry at the farm and landscape levels as a climate change adaptation strategy. The paper highlights areas for further research, policy and dissemination efforts, and identifies entry points for agroforestry adoption.

Incentive Mechanisms for Smallholder Agroforestry: Opportunities and Challenges in the Philippines
Agroforestry - The Future of Global Land Use, 2012Co-Authors: Delia Catacutan, Rodel D Lasco, Caroline D. PiñonAbstract:Incentives generally imply something that contributes to or serves as motivation to accomplish a task, which may lead to rewards. Today, “incentives” are used in many agriculture and forestry initiatives in developing countries to promote wider adoption of agroforestry. In this chapter, we have used the experience from the Philippines to illustrate how, in the midst of various challenges, global and locally designed incentive mechanisms can stimulate smallholder investments in agroforestry. The global carbon market has opened up opportunities for agroforestry through which Smallholders benefit from carbon trading. At the national level, a plethora of policy incentives exist for agroforestry, but Smallholders hardly benefit from such policies due to lack of information and resources to leverage policy implementation. We conclude that incentives can facilitate the adaptive capacity of Smallholders and can stimulate agroforestry investments. We suggest that national institutions should catalyze international carbon incentives for Smallholders, while local governments should be primed to address smallholder needs through locally designed incentive mechanisms. Ultimately, effective coordination and linkages are needed to harmonize global, national, and local incentive mechanisms for Smallholders to have optimal benefits from agroforestry.

Smallholder Agroforestry Systems For Carbon Storage
Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, 2007Co-Authors: James M. Roshetko, Rodel D Lasco, Marian S. Delos AngelesAbstract:Most smallholder agroforestry systems in Southeast Asia are tree- and species-rich systems producing non-wood and wood products for both home use and market sale. Due to their high biomass, these systems contain large carbon (C) stocks. While the systems of individual farmers are of limited size, on a per area basis smallholder systems accumulate significant amounts of C, equaling the amount of C stored in some secondary forests of similar age. Their ability to simultaneously address Smallholders’ livelihood needs and store large amounts of C makes smallholder systems viable project types under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, with its dual objective of emissions reduction and sustainable development. Smallholder systems have not developed in areas where enabling conditions do not exist. A CDM project that facilitates a minimum threshold of enabling conditions that make smallholder agroforestation possible should qualify for C credits. To secure smallholder confidence, the agroforestry systems promoted through a CDM project must be socially and economically viable independent of C payments. To assure system productivity and profitability, projects should provide farmers with technical and marketing assistance. Additionally, project sites should meet the following preconditions: areas of underutilized low-biomass landuse systems available for rehabilitation; Smallholders interested in tree farming; accessible markets for tree products; supportive local governments; sufficient infrastructure; and transparent and equitable relationships between project partners. Questions of leakage and additionality should not be problematic and can be addressed through the project design, establishment of quantifiable baseline data and facilitating enabling conditions. However, smallholder-focused CDM projects would have high transaction costs. The subsequent challenge is thus to develop mechanisms that reduce the costs of: (a) making information (e.g., technology, markets) more accessible to multiple clients; (b) facilitating and enforcing smallholder agreements and (c) designing feasible monitoring systems.

Swietenia macrophylla King: ekologi, silvikultur dan produktivitas - Swietenia macrophylla King: ekologi, silvikultur dan produktivitas
2011Co-Authors: Haruni Krisnawati, Maarit Kallio, Markku KanninenAbstract:This manual gathers information on the ecology and silviculture of Swietenia macrophylla King, with a focus on Indonesia. It also includes growth and yield data from published sources, collected from Smallholders' farms in the research sites in South Kalimantan province, and collected previously by the Forestry Research and Development Agency of Indonesia. This manual is one of five manuals that guide smallholder tree planting of five selected tree species in Indonesia. The other four species are: Acacia mangium Willd.; Aleurites moluccana (L.) Willd.; Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.; and Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen. Smallholders in Indonesia have planted trees on private or community land for a long time. Various actors have encouraged this activity with the aim of improving local livelihoods, environmental sustainability and industrial wood supply. Since farmers often lack technical capacity and management know-how, the quality and quantity of products may not be optimal. Productivity of smallholder plantations can be improved by enhancing Smallholders' management knowledge and skills, including species selection based on site matching, silvicultural management to maximise product quality, and pest and disease management.
