1a. SHIFTING CULTIVATION
Complex Agro-forestry :
Shifting cultivators is not similar with : Forest
Squatters

 Based on agreement of some agencies
: Forestry, Agriculture, & Transmigration

Adaptation to low labor , low technology

 Established in 1982

Combination of food crops, cash crops, wood
& non wood products (Latex Rubber, Damar)

(Consensus of Forest Land Use/ Tata Guna Hutan Kesepakatan)

 Drawn on map scale 1:250 000

Done in many type of ecosystem from
wetland - upland

 Abolished all traditional land-use system
 Land tenure conflict started
 drawn on map/table

Example : Rubber Jungle, Damar
Krui(Shorea javanica), Coconut

 no terrestrial survey conducted
 no consultation with people

Post Harvest

Problem threaten Sustainability :
a. Population pressure
b. Limitation of land for new farm


Traditional system (i.e marga) was abolished



1983 : National Forest Land, Land-use system implementation

Rice Container

Rice Container (lumbung padi)


Impacts
a. Short Fallow (Very short Fallow)
Food Crops



Fertility decrease



Biodiversity decrease



Biomass decrease


Alang - alang grassland


b. Farmer have no experience to intensive farming & need more production input
Rattan

Criticism :

1b. FOREST PLANTATION (since 1980s)
 Since 1980s,
 Private & Government Company
 Build on critical or degraded forest (volume of commercial species
