National Strategy for Agroforestry Research in Indonesia 2013-2030

Sustainable forestry development builds on the synergy between theecological, economic, and social bases. The National Forestry Plan states thatthe ecological basis lies in increasing productivity of conservation forests and improving biodiversity of forest areas. The economic base lies in the creationof growth and equity in the utilization of forest areas and functions, whilethe social basis lies in increased community participation and the creationof sustainable institutions for the utilization of forest areas and functions.Forestry development guidelines are consistent with the concept of agroforestryas defined in this National Strategy. Specifically, the term “agroforestry” wasincluded for the first time in the Indonesian regulatory system in PermenhutNo. P. 19/Menhut-II/2012. This MoF regulation provides opportunities fordeveloping agroforestry in areas of industrial plantation forests or HutanTanaman Industri (HTI) and in community plantation forests or HutanTanaman Rakyat (HTR).
