| Abstract: |
“Twenty-five years ago, in 1992, the foundation was laid for the Southeast Asia program of ICRAF, the World Agroforestry Centre. As one of the last of the pioneer generation, it is with mixed feelings that I enter the ‘alumni’ group: nostalgia for all the companions on our journey of discovery, pride for the times and places where our teams could make a difference in proposing new ideas, reducing conflict and supporting the basis of sustainagility, and gratefulness for the partnership that transformed not only lives and landscapes, but also ourselves.”
This ‘bunga rampai’, or collection of wildflowers picked up along the way in our travels through the landscape of ‘kebun lindung’ is a compilation of the visual memes that emerged as ‘grams’, and some of the words that coalesced in ‘blogs’. These are arranged according to the three concepts of agroforestry that took shape during our journey: the plot and farm scale, the landscape as social-ecological system, and the integrated land use – sustainable development goals arena. |
