Traditional agroforestry, parcel management, and social forestry development in a pioneer agricultural community: the case of Jala-jala, Rizal, Philippines

Abstract

This paper overviews a variety of traditional agroforestry systems found in a small community of Filipino migrant farmers. Background information provides context, and then case studies of seven farmers are offered to illustrate the functions which their agroforestries fulfill in a situation of parcellization of farm-holdings into both level and sloping fields. The implications of the brief portraits presented for further research and development and for the acceptability of a social forestry program now going on in the community are suggested. © 1985 Martinus Nijhoff/Dr W.
