| Abstract: |
| Academics institutions in forestry, agriculture and other natural resource sciences increasingly teach agroforestry. This is a response to the growing need for trained human resources for sustainable development of the uplands of Southeast Asia. This incorporation of agroforestry into educational programmes strted more than 20 years ago, and is still going on. A number of regional meetings and initiatives in Southeast Asia have taken places to catalyse the process, among them Roundtable Discussion on agroforestry education in Southeast Asia organized by the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) and Asia Pacific Agroforestry Network (APAN) in November 1994. At this meeting, six universities in Indonesia, the Philippines and Tahiland developed a proposal for regional collaboration on agroforestry education. This proposal was further expaned in 1997 to include a larger geographical area and a wider range of institutions. The project, the Southeast Asia initiative for Agroforestry education, was implemented during 1998. |
