Huyện A Lưới của tỉnh Thừa Thiên Huế là nơi sinh sống của các nhóm dân tộc thiểu số Pa Cô, Tà Ôi với tập quán canh tác trên đất dốc và khai thác lâm sản từ rừng tự nhiên. Nhiều thay đổi trong sử dụng đất lâm nghiệp và tài nguyên rừng đã và đang diễn ra ở đây. Nghiên cứu đã chọn xã Hồng Kim để tiến hành khảo sát những thay đổi trong sử dụng đất lâm nghiệp của người dân địa phương. Thông qua phân tích định tính các thông tin thảo luận nhóm và phỏng vấn sâu, cùng với phân tích thống kê điều tra hộ, nghiên cứu cho thấy người dân xã Hồng Kim đã chuyển dịch từ canh tác nương rẫy sang trồng rừng và từ canh tác đa dạng sang độc canh. Những tác động dẫn dắt sự thay đổi này bao gồm cả chính sách đất đai và thị trường. Nghiên cứu đề xuất điều chỉnh quy hoạch sử dụng đất để tăng cơ hội tiếp cận đất đai cho người dân; xây dựng cơ chế hưởng lợi từ rừng cộng đồng, tạo sinh kế dưới tán rừng tự nhiên; tăng giá trị gia tăng từ rừng trồng, đồng thời tăng cường thực thi pháp luật để bảo vệ vốn rừng tự nhiên còn lại trên địa bàn; và xây dựng các mô hình nông lâm kết hợp để tăng tính đa dạng và nâng cao giá trị kinh tế của đất. ABSTRACT A Luoi district of Thua Thien Hue province is home to the Pa Co and Ta Oi ethnic groups with the practice of farming on sloping land and exploiting forest products from natural forests. Many changes in the use of forest land and forest resources have been occurring there. Hong Kim commune was selected in the study to survey forestry land use change. Through qualitative analysis of group discussions and in-depth interviews, along with statistical analysis of household surveys, the study showed that people in Hong Kim commune have converted forest land used for shifting cultivation to reforestation and from diverse farming systems to monoculture. The effects of driving this change included both land and market policy. The study proposed to adjust land use planning to increase opportunities for people to access land; building a mechanism for benefiting from community forests, creating livelihoods under the canopy of natural forests; increasing added value from planted forests while strengthening law enforcement to protect the remaining natural forest capital in the area, and building agroforestry models to increase the diversity and increase the economic value of the land.

Bukit Basa Limited Production Forest covers 125 hectares, located in Rejang Lebong District, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia.  The main function of limited production forest is to yield forest products, timber and non timber.  In Bukit Basa Limited Production Forest, there has been a change of land use from forest land to a crop land.  There has been conflict in this forest area. The objective of this study was to describe the characteristics of communities cutivating forest land and to suggest conflict resolution of this forest area. The data were collected by field observation, and interview.  The accidental sampling technique was used to select 42 respondents. Legal approaches were  used to find solutions to the tenurial conflict. The results showed that land use of Bukit Basa Limited Production Forest, in 2017 was entirely crop land. All of this forest areas have been illegaly occupied by people.  The average land area of occupied by a household was 1.24 ha. The people acquired their land by buying (4.76%), renting (21.43%), clearing the forest (42.86%), and inheriting (30.95%). The dependence of this community on the forest area was quite high. Only 38.10% of them had agricultural land outside the forest area; 61.9% depended on the land in the forest area. The contribution of farmers' incomes from agricultural business in forest land was 77.22% of their total income. The legalization of the use of limited production forests as crop lands must be enforced through policy schemes of community-based forest management, such as community forests, village forests, community plantations forest, or partnerships.

The Future

The development of the forester's leadership role in forest land management is compared to rising profile of land between a sea or lake shoreline and a range of mountains, the progression is upward but the rate of climb changes. No plateau is identified. Reference is made to forestry leadership in several fields of forest land management; administration, land use, planning, research, forest management, recreational land use and fish and wildlife management. It is noted that forest land management includes activities for which foresters were not academically trained and reference is made to the fact that non-foresters, e.g. biologists and geographers are giving leadership in forest land management and thus providing beneficial competition and stimulation. The most important leadership role in the future may relate to regional planning. The forestry profession is cautioned not to abdicate this field to those in other disciplines.

SUMMARYThere is a need for coordinated research for the sustainable management of tropical peatland. Malaysia has 6% of global tropical peat by area and peatlands there are subject to land use change at an unprecedented rate. This paper describes a stakeholder engagement exercise that identified 95 priority research questions for peatland in Malaysia, organized into nine themes. Analysis revealed the need for fundamental scientific research, with strong representation across the themes of environmental change, ecosystem services, and conversion, disturbance and degradation. Considerable uncertainty remains about Malaysia's baseline conditions for peatland, including questions over total remaining area of peatland, water table depths, soil characteristics, hydrological function, biogeochemical processes and ecology. More applied and multidisciplinary studies involving researchers from the social sciences are required. The future sustainability of Malaysian peatland relies on coordinating research agendas via a ‘knowledge hub’ of researchers, strengthening the role of peatlands in land-use planning and development processes, stricter policy enforcement, and bridging the divide between national and provincial governance. Integration of the economic value of peatlands into existing planning regimes is also a stakeholder priority. Finally, current research needs to be better communicated for the benefit of the research community, for improved societal understanding and to inform policy processes.

Candidate Species

New initiatives in agroforestry are seeking to integrate indigenous trees, whose products have traditionally been gathered from natural forests, into tropical farming systems such as cacao farms. This is being done to provide from farms, marketable timber and non-timber forest products that will enhance rural livelihoods by generating cash for resource-poor rural and peri-urban households. There are many potential candidate species for domestication that have commercial potential in local, regional or even international markets. Little or no formal research has been carried out on many of these hitherto wild species to assess potential for genetic improvement, reproductive biology or suitability for cultivation. With the participation of subsistence farmers a number of projects to bring candidate species into cultivation are in progress, however. This paper describes some tree domestication activities being carried out in southern Cameroon, especially with Irvingia gabonensis (bush mango; dika nut) and Dacryodes edulis (African plum; safoutier). As part of this, fruits and kernels from 300 D. edulis and 150 I. gabonensis trees in six villages of Cameroon and Nigeria have been quantitatively characterized for 11 traits to determine combinations defining multi-trait ideotypes for a genetic selection programme. I. gabonensis fruits are rich in vitamin A (67 mg 100 ml−1), while the kernels are rich in fat (51.3%) and contain a polysaccharide that is a food thickener. The fruits of D. edulis are also rich in oil (31.9%) and protein (25.9%). This poverty-reducing agroforestry strategy is at the same time linked to one in which perennial, biologically diverse and complex mature-stage agroecosystems are developed as sustainable alternatives to slash-and-burn agriculture. To meet the objective of poverty reduction, however, it is crucial that market expansion and creation are possible. Hence, for example, it is important to determine which marketable traits are amenable to genetic improvement. While some traits (such as fruit and kernel mass) that benefit the farmer are relatively easy to identify, there are undoubtedly others that are important to the food, pharmaceutical or other industries which require more sophisticated chemical evaluation. There is a need, therefore, for better linkages between agroforesters and the private sector. The domestication activities described are relevant to the enrichment of smallholder cacao farms and agroforests. This diversification is seen as being important for the support of the cacao industry.

Ba river is the biggest river system in the South-Central Coast of Vietnam and plays a significant role in the socio-economic development of the region. Recently, land-use changes in Gia Lai province have been significantly transformed. Hence, to provide the information for land-use planning, there is an urgent need for land-use change assessment in the upstream Ba river basin. This study employed the Markov chain coupled with GIS to assess land-use changes between 2010 - 2015 and 2015 - 2020 periods. The results showed that during the period 2010 - 2015, there was no significant conversion of agricultural and reserve forest land. Meanwhile, a large proportion of unused (86%) and water and aquacultural land (57.5%) was converted into the other land-use types. Between 2020 and 2015, unused land decreased while the surface water and aquacultural land increased. The forest land accounted for a significant area (51.16%) during the 2015 - 2020 period. In addition, the driving forces leading to these changes were also analyzed, providing a more comprehensive of land-use change in the study area. In general, GIS and Markov were suitable for assessing land-use change. This study outcomes provide a general framework for land-use planning in Gia Lai province.

Ngành nông nghiệp đóng vai trò quan trọng trong cơ cấu kinh tế của thành phố Đà Lạt. Các loại hình sử dụng đất (LUT) sản xuất nông nghiệp mang lại hiệu quả kinh tế, xã hội, môi trường và cảnh quan đô thị. Tuy nhiên, các loại hình sử dụng đất nông nghiệp chưa được quy hoạch thành vùng chuyên canh cây trồng. Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu là đánh giá hiệu quả sử dụng đất sản xuất nông nghiệp làm cơ sở thực hiện quy hoạch sử dụng đất thành phố Đà Lạt. Hiệu quả sử dụng đất được đánh giá thông qua các chỉ tiêu như giá trị sản xuất, giá trị gia tăng, hiệu quả sản xuất, khả năng thu hút lao động, khả năng tiêu thụ sản phẩm, khả năng cải tạo đất. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy, loại hình sử dụng đất trồng hoa có hiệu quả kinh tế và xã hội cao hơn loại hình sử dụng đất trồng cây ăn quả. Loại hình sử dụng đất trồng cà phê và cây ăn quả có hiệu quả môi trường cao hơn loại hình sử dụng đất trồng rau và hoa. Như vậy, các loại hình sử dụng đất sản xuất nông nghiệp ở thành phố Đà Lạt gồm rau, hoa và chè mang lại hiệu quả kinh tế, xã hội và môi trường cao hơn loại hình sử dụng đất trồng cà phê, cây ăn quả và cây lương thực. ABSTRACT Agriculture plays an important role in the economic structure of Da Lat city. The agricultural land use types (LUT) positively contribute to benefits such as economy, society, environment and urban landscape. However, various types of agricultural land use have not yet been planned for cultivation areas. The objective of the study was to evaluate the eficiency of agricultural land which could be applied in land use planning in Da Lat city. Land use efficiency was assessed through criteria such as productive value, added value, productive efficiency, ability to attract workers, consume products and improve land. The research results showed that the type of land use for flowers cultivation had higher economic and social efficiency than the type of land use for fruits tree. The type of land use for coffee and fruits tree had more environmental efficiency than the type of land use for vegetables and flowers. Therefore, the types of agricultural land use in Da Lat city such as vegetables, flowers and tea have brought economic, social and environmental efficiency higher than the type of land use for coffee, fruits tree and annual crops.

Forest Protection

Around one third of the earth's surface is under forest cover which is distributed more or less equally between industrialised and developing countries. Whereas forest areas in the temperate and boreal climate zones are more or less stable or on the increase, the scale of deforestation and forest degradation in the tropics remains dramatic. This situation is likely to continue in the decades to come because the world's ever-growing population needs new agricultural land and the pressure on resources (forest products, land, water, minerals) continues to increase as a result of globalisation and global change. Moreover, sustainable forest management has not yet become standard practice in many southern countries because forest management can rarely compete with other forms of land use in terms of economic returns. The protection and sustainable management of forest resources is basically the responsibility of each individual country and cannot be regulated and financed globally. However, enormous financial resources, i.e. on a scale of tens of billions of Swiss francs per year, are required for the introduction of comprehensive land-use planning in developing countries incorporating suitable protection of natural forests and sustainable forest management. New approaches for the valorisation of services provided by forests such as carbon sinks (e.g. REDD+) offer significant potential for improving forest protection and sustainable forest management. It augurs well that the economic internalisation of the forest and its services is in full swing at global level and that, based on the REDD+ resolutions passed at the last climate conference in Cancún, many countries have opted for the path of forest conservation and sustainable forest management.
