It sets out the steps to be taken to successfully integrate trees in rice-fields and associated farms and landscapes and presents practical tools that can be used by extensionists when supporting farmers who are implementing agroforestry practices on their farms. The ultimate aim of this guide is to support farmers in increasing the overall productivity of their farms while increasing resilience to climate change, improving the health of the surrounding environment, and enhancing the livelihoods of their communities   Read More

Title of document: Asean Guidelines “On soil and nutrient management”_Version Lao & English (Final Draft) Authors: Thandar Nyi (MMR), Varughese Philip (SGP), Mohd Izzannuddin bin Hj Bujang (BRN), Koy Ra (KHM), Budi Irianta (IDN), Pheng Sengxua and Nivong Sipaseuth (LAO), Asnita Abu Harirah and Borhan Bin Jantan (MYS), Sonia M. Salguero (PHL), Phatchayaphon Meunchang (THA), Vu Manh Quyet and Nguyen Quang Hai (VNM) and Philip Moody, Thomas Erich Jäkel, and Wannipa Soda Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: ASWGC and BMZ Year of publication: 2017 Geographic focus: ASEAN Region Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Soil Resources in the ASEAN region; Soil Constraints to Land Use; Good Soil Management Practices (GSMP); Standards and Regulations for Fertilizers and Supplements in the ASEAN region; Linkages between Guidelines and User Requirements; Recommendations for Future Implementation and Enhancements  of the Guidelines across the ASEAN region……) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: Soil and nutrient management is an integrated system to manage soils, nutrients, water and crops in a sustainable manner to optimise crop production and maintain/improve soil health. These Guidelines provide regionally relevant guidance as a key component of the Strategic Plan of Action for the ASEAN Integrated Food Security (AIFS) Framework. The ultimate objective of the AIFS Framework is to achieve  food security of the region by promoting adaptive and resilient ‘climate - smart’ agricultural systems  that underpin a productive and profitable rural sector, while maintaining the functional capacity of the soil resource to provide essential ecosystem functions (commonly described as ‘soil health’), including  mitigation of emission of greenhouse gases. Climate - smart agricultural systems are necessarily underpinned by the principles of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), and this dependency is acknowledged in the Guidelines. These Guidelines on Soil and Nutrient Management and accompanying policy recommendations comprise advice prepared for agricultural decision makers. These decision makers may be a group or person that has the authority to make or to influence policy decisions, whether as a Minister of Agriculture and Forestry in ASEAN or in a member state of ASEAN, a member of an ASEAN Sectoral Working Group on Crops (ASWGC), a project steering committee, or an authority mandated to manage soil and nutrients in the region, including international, regional, and national bodies. The policy recommendations serve  to inform how science - based evidence and recommendations on climate - resilient soil and nutrient management can assist in making the best decisions on soil and nutrient management that contribute towards sustaining agricultural production and enhancing food security. These Guidelines are intended to provide guidance to the policy, planning and technical support services of government, but the requirements of these different end - user groups are diverse. Consequently a scoping analysis was undertaken of the issues and responses of these end-user groups so the Guidelines could be framed to meet their requirements   Read More

Title of document: Agroecological and agroforestry practices in tropical wet zones Authors: A collective work coordinated by Justine Scholle (GRET) Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: GRET Year of publication: 2017 Geographic focus: Mekong Region and Central Africa Summary: This guide is designed as a support tool for technicians and farmers involved in actions to promote and develop agroecology. It is a follow-up to a first technical guide published in 2014 in the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of the DEFIV project, a food security project implemented by GRET, funded by the European Union and Agence française de développement. This guide features two parts: The first part presents the current context and issues of agroecology in tropical wet regions. Having demonstrated the limits of conventional agricultural systems, analysed the effects of deforestation, the green revolution and climate change, the authors specify the objectives and the principles of agroecology, and remind readers of the conditions necessary to promote it. The second part is very operational and covers the various agroecological techniques, which were tested in a tropical wet context with satisfying results in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DEFIV project), Cambodia (APICI project) and Myanmar (Delta and NRS projects). Firstly, the various agroecological techniques are presented, and secondly the plants used to implement these techniques are described. Naturally, techniques such as plant inventories mentioned in this guide are not exhaustive.   Read More

Title of document: The Lao Uplands Sourcebook, Improving livelihoods in the Uplands of Lao PDR, Vol 5, Lao Authors: Bandith Ramangkoun, Michael Victor Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: NAFRI, NAFES, NUoL Year of publication: 2004 Geographic focus: Lao PDR Summary: The Lao Uplands Sourcebook was developed in order to provide field level extension workers, educators and students better access to the wealth of information and experiences in Uplands resource management in Lao PDR. The sourcebook includes 68 articles of best practices, lessons learned, and experiences gained by those working in the uplands. It is intended to provide field workers (provincial and district level staff ) with practical, easy to understand ways to solve problems facing upland development. The compilation can serve as a rich source of ideas and reference materials for trainers. It might also be useful to educators, policy makers, local officials and administrators. While the articles within the sourcebook can be further adapted to create community-based materials, the sourcebook as such is not meant for direct use with farmers or community groups.   Read More
