Scaling-Up Agroforestry Promotion Towards Mitigating Climate Change in Southeast Asia

The project on “Scaling-Up Agroforestry Promotion Towards Mitigating Climate Change in Southeast Asia” was conceived in response to the global climate change that threatens the humanity and the environment. Specifically, the Southeast Asia, which is generally dependent on agriculture, is among the regions that are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This project is a regional collaboration of the five country networks of the Southeast Asian Network for Agroforestry Education (SEANAFE), namely: Indonesian Network for Agroforestry Education (INAFE), Lao Network for Agroforestry Education (LaoNAFE), Philippine Agroforestry Education and Research Network (PAFERN), Thailand Network for Agroforestry Education (ThaiNAFE), and the Vietnam Network for Agroforestry Education (VNAFE). There are five major components of this project. These include the: (1) Consultative-Meeting Workshop of the Project Facilitating Team (PFT); (2) Development of agroforestry information materials; (3) Regional Training-Workshop on Agroforestry and Climate Change; (4) National Agroforestry Roadshows; and, (5) Development of a policy brief on promoting agroforestry as a climate change mitigation and adaptation strategy.
