“…About 30 families were sampled randomly based on size of land holding (Small, Medium and Large). Information regarding timber yielding plant species growing on farmlands and utilization of timber for various purposes and other relevant information was collected from different categories of families by participatory discussion method through the questioner survey (Hanumantha et al, 2019; Doddabasawa et al, 2018) [6,3] .

Trees are the essential component of the indigenous agricultural systems and they are preserved or managed to meet the immediate needs of the population. The present study was undertaken to document the timber yielding species and pattern of utilization in Bharangi village. The total of 35 timber yielding species belonging to 17 families was documented. Maximum number of farmers preferred to grow Tectona grandis (80.0%) and Mangifera indica (63.33%) on their farms lands. Among the total 35 timber yielding species, maximum number of species (25) was utilized for agricultural implements and fuel wood. followed by house construction (23), furniture (10) and least for ply wood and decorative articles (4). Hence, it's essential to raise the quality seedlings of most preferable species by the forest department nurseries and private nurseries for providing seedlings to farmers for planting purpose and in turn to reduce the pressure on forests and to conserve biodiversity.

“…Appendix A provides a summary of the constructs and indicators related to sustainability in a study involving a total of 330 participants. The constructs include environmental resilience (ER) [64,65], biodiversity conservation (BC) [66], food security (FS) [67,68], social factors (FS) [69,70], business factors (BF) [71], and financial and economic sustainability (FES). Each construct is accompanied by various indicators that measure specific aspects related to sustainability.…”

This study focuses on investigating the dimensions of sustainability and their influence on financial-economic sustainability (FES) in traditional agroforestry systems (TAFS) using the case of the Amazonian Chakra. The main objectives were to analyze the dimensions of sustainability and to establish the causal relationships between these dimensions and the FES. To carry out this research, 330 households in Napo Province that use the Amazonian Chakra system to grow cocoa were selected in order to analyze the relationship between the different dimensions of sustainability and FES in this unique context. The results of the study show that practices related to food security (FS) and business factors (BF) have a positive and significant impact on the FES of cocoa-producing households in the Amazonian Chakra system. These findings support the importance of ensuring the availability and quality of food and promoting responsible business practices in these environments. In contrast, the dimensions of environmental resilience (ER) and biodiversity conservation (BC) showed a negative impact on FES, highlighting an economic-financial imbalance in relation to conservation and environmental resilience actions in the Amazonian Chakra. This study contributes to the knowledge needed to promote agricultural practices that include an equal focus on FES, biodiversity conservation, and environmental resilience practices in a globally significant area, providing valuable information for the design of sustainable agricultural policies and practices in the Amazonian Chakra.

“…The development of study on Indonesian agroforestry (see Figure 3 and Figure 4) were highly related with the role of local or indigenous people. Characteristics of the traditional agroforestry were high in species diversity, specific site or location, performance biased and dependency on farmer preference as well as local traditio n [27], [28]. Traditional agroforestry was practiced from ancient period, while rubber agroforestry and parak system has been developed in the 19th century [29], [30].…”

Indonesian agroforestry has been developed along the history, since been reported that home garden was practiced from 3,000 BC in Java Island. However, agroforestry practices were recognized to have less contribution to people welfare and environmental sustainability. Bibliometric and literature studies extracting baseline information from thousands of publications were done to analyse history and future projection of Indonesian agroforestry. Research and publication on Indonesian agroforestry is steadily increasing in number and quality. Topics related with traditional land use system and ecosystem services were frequently found, and therefore classified as motor themes. There were 16 most attractive commodities stated in the publications, including palm oil and rubber. Rubber agroforest was the only system that pay interest in several decades. There were many researches on indigenous agroforestry practices in the islands, but mostly (77%) concentrated in Java Island, especially studying private forest and home garden. The research on the issues of population pressure on forestland and efficient use of resources are the most popular topic in the decades. In the recent decade, broader theme of research was found including climate change and long-term livelihood. Based on the study, indigenous agroforestry is still important subject to study, but future roadmap of agroforestry must be developed by integrating forestry and agriculture approaches.
