Agreement between farmers, UGM, Tebo Timur Forest management Unit, and Kehati Foundation on the establishment of demonstration plots for oil palm agroforestry

This meeting was conducted in Sungai Jernih village in Jambi. The meeting was attended by two farmer groups namely (a) Kasang Panjang and (b) Soko Tulang farmer groups, Tebo Timur Forest Management Unit, and UGM.

We planned to establish demonstration plots which show the process of transformation from monoculture oil palm plantation in the forest areas into oil palm agroforestry. The activity aims at contributing to more inclusive forest management especially in disturbed forest areas by providing various alternatives of silvicultural treatments during certain target period.
