Abstract:
World population is about 7.09 billion (Levine, 2011) and is estimated to increase by 101 million people per year. About 926 million people are hungry, of whom 98% are in developing countries with Asia and the Pacific at 578 million (FAO, 2010). Furthermore, available resources such as land and water have been rapidly diminishing. This project will seek to alleviate poverty, food scarcity, and reduce environmental degradation in Southeast Asia (SEA) by combining economically-viable and resource-conserving technologies, and gender friendly socioeconomic policies that will benefit and reward stakeholders in a watershed, especially small-scale farmers both women and men (SSFWM). The hypothesis to be tested is, “integrating vegetable production in the agroforestry system on small farms will help to alleviate poverty and enhance environmental protection, sustainability and ecosystem biodiversity in SEA watersheds”. Another closely related hypothesis is, “integrating agroforestry in a vegetable production system on small farms will help to alleviate poverty and enhance environmental protection, sustainability, and ecosystem biodiversity in SEA watersheds.
