"This article argues that the practice of agroforestry provides ecological contributions to the smallholder farmers cultivating in the watershed areas. Specifically, this farming system provides contribution to carbon sequestration potential of the woody perennials and the biodiversity conservation of the other components of the system.  This argument is based on the research conducted in Molawin-Dampalit Sub-Watershed, Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve in the Philippines and Way Betung Watershed in Indonesia. The research involved an interview session of 106 and 261 smallholder farmers and an assessment of 27 and 14 agroforesty plots for carbon stock assessment and biodiversity assessment, respectively. Results indicated that the total carbon found among the crop components was 52.32 MgC/ha in Molawin-Dampalit Sub-Watershed­ and 244.26 MgC/ha in Way Betung Watershed­, which suggested the high carbon sequestration potential of the woody perennials and understory crops in an agroforestry system. The farm lots being cultivated by the smallholder farmers were found to contribute to biodiversity conservation having a moderate biodiversity index of 2.59 and 2.53, respectively. With these findings, promotion of desired agroforestry systems in suitable portions of the watershed areas should be intensified and heightened to contribute to ecological balance across the landscape. Agroforestry should always be an integral part of all initiatives toward ecological restoration with the cultivators/smallholder farmers as potential partners. The agroforestry system should consider all the technical and socioeconomic considerations toward having diverse components and ensure food security among the smallholder farmers throughout the year."

"In recent days, the world leaders and the most people of the Republic of Indonesia need look no further than the world's energy crisis, global warming, and food security. The risk scenarios include the increasing of world population demands for higher standard of living, a need for less pollution and a low carbon economy, a need to avert global warming, and a possible end to fossil fuels. For poor people, the rising basic foods price and oils means the quality and quantity of nutrition are at risk. To response the crises, we should build the agriculture research stations to develop more varieties that could be used to produce the high quality of milk, crops, agriculture research, extension of agriculture, to provide semen for Indonesian farmers, and to adopt and develop Agro-ecosystem Analysis and farming system research to gain more holistic view of agriculture and to help scientists understand the problem faced by farmers and even give farmers a role in the development process in NKRI ….
