Increased agricultural use of tropical peatlands has negative environmental effects. Drainage leads to landscape-wide degradation and fire risks. Livelihood strategies in peatland ecosystems have traditionally focused on transitions from riverbanks forests. Riparian ‘Kaleka’ agroforests with more than 100 years history persist the Central Kalimantan (Indonesia), where large-scale open-field projects dramatically failed. Our field study a Dayak Ngaju village Kahayan river Pulang Pisau district involved characterizing land uses, surveying vegetation, measuring soil characteristics, monitoring groundwater during period 16 months. We how local practices farmer knowledge compare standard fertility (physical, chemical, biological) measurements make meaningful assessments risks opportunities for sustainable within site-specific constraints. The Kaleka around former settlement sacred historical meaning are species-rich dominated by fruit trees rubber close riverbank. They function well high wet-season tables (up −15 cm) compatible restoration targets. Existing quality indices rate soils, low pH Alexch, as having suitability most annual crops, but active tree regeneration shows sustainability.

This research was conducted to assess the scope and impact of conversion croplands into Agroforestry orchards considering characterizing growers, identify challenges they face during transition process, gather their recommended strategies address these challenges.The investigation took place in Sadar Biral Upazila within Dinajpur District northern part Bangladesh. To establish a sample group, an updated roster total 266 agroforestry growers procured from respective Agriculture Offices. Using simple random sampling method, 80 were selected for participation this study. Data gathered through structured pretested interview schedules administered respondents between April 15th May 15th, 2022. The study evaluated ten key attributes encompassing factors like age, educational background, farm size, farming experience, family income, extension network engagement, agricultural knowledge, innovation inclination, marketing orientation, technological attitude. central focus centered on orchards. revealed that over period spanning 1990 2022, farmers region converted cropland with varying extents, ranging 13% 19.83%. substitution predominant crops such as rice, maize, wheat, along minor potatoes, vegetables, mustard, garlic, turmeric, Napier grass, marked practices.

Rural livelihoods in developing countries, reliant on natural resources, face significant vulnerabilities from climate change impacts such as rising temperatures, reduced water availability, soil degradation, and food insecurity. Agroforestry provides a transformative solution by integrating trees, crops, livestock, delivering ecosystem services like biodiversity conservation, health improvement, carbon sequestration. These systems align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) zero hunger (SDG 2) action 13) while enhancing livelihood assets through the Livelihoods Approach (SLA). Case studies South Asia highlight agroforestry's success, targeted policies participatory approaches essential for overcoming barriers maximizing its potential.
