Abstract
The Potential of Agroforestry in Supporting Food Security for Peatland Community – A Case Study in the Kalampangan Village, Central Kalimantan
Highlights
The peatland in Central Kalimantan plays an important role both in the ecological and economic aspects
Degradation of peatland was calculated as a major source of Green House Gases (GHGs) emission and became the main target for conservation project in Central Kalimantan
This research aimed to analyze the potential of agroforestry in the Kalampangan Village to support food security
Summary
The peatland in Central Kalimantan plays an important role both in the ecological and economic aspects. These activities resulted in degradation of peatlands and triggered forest fires [Murdiyarso et al, 2010; Miettinen et al, 2016; Osaki et al, 2016] Apart from these ecological disasters, incorrect peatland management has a major impact on the livelihoods of local communities in which their food security depends largely on the natural resources [Laterra et al, 2012; Law et al, 2015]. Divers agroforestry models have been implemented in various rural areas of Indonesia since the ancient times, including shifting cultivation, home garden and agroforestry These models can be developed at various scales (household, village, and subdistrict, district, provincial and national) and made agroforestry ideal for multiple purposes, including provision of food security. This research aimed to analyze the potential of agroforestry in the Kalampangan Village to support food security
