Abstract
This report describes the development of a pilot agroforestry program for the island of Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), Indonesia. The primary aim of the program is to increase agricultural production on Lombok by introducing drought-tolerant, productive trees that can ameliorate drought-induced famine experienced by rural farmers in this region. The inclusion of an agroforestry subsystem with supportive and “back-up” capabilities will buttress the existing agricultural system in the event of future drought. The current focus is upon the introduction of hybrid coconut, date, fig, and macadamia nut trees. Major emphasis is placed upon the value of working within the Indonesian culture and agrarian social structure in NTB.
