  • The policy context of vegetable-agroforestry (VAF) in the Philippines and Vietnam: Are there incentives for small farmers?
    Catacutan, Delia C.; Ha, Dang Thanh; Duque-Piñon, Caroline; Thanh Loan, L. (2008)
    This presentation examines the policy incentives for smallholders in vegetable agroforestry production. The research reveals that while generic incentives for the adoption of vegetable agroforestry systems in Vietnam and in the Philippines have a positive impact, these programs are insufficient to encourage widespread adoption amongst smallholders. The presentation concludes with suggestions for scaling up incentive structures geared towards smallholders.

    Thanh Ha, D.; Van Du, Le; Thanh Loan, L.; Loi, N. Kim; Duc Thanh, N.; Duc Phuoc, P. H.; Midmore, David J.; Catacutan, D.; Palada, Manuel C.; Reyes, M.; Cajilig, R.; Kunta, K.; Sombatpanit, Samran (Bangkok, Thailand: World Association of Soil and Water Conservation (WASWAC), 2011)
    This book is part of a four-book series that details the research conducted by the Nong Lam University research team concerning the addition of cacao to cashew farming systems in Vietnam. Eight cacao varieties were tested on farmer-owned cashew plantations and had promising results that showed that cacao grew exceptionally well under the cashew canopy, and will be profitable to farmers. These ecologically-sound, integrated vegetable agroforestry systems were developed in order to increase farm production and income, thus stabilizing the supply of products for markets and improving food security.
