AGROFORESTRY AND SUSTAINABLE GREEN COMMUNITY
2014 ICMCI Asia Pacific Hub Meeting
Dr. Thaung Naing Oo Deputy Director
Forest Department, Myanmar MICC – Nay Pyi Taw

¢ To promote agroforestry & community forestry in mitigating climate change and sustainable green community
Major causes of Climate Change
Six Major GHGs (according to Kyoto Protocol 1997)
§ Carbon Dioxide-CO2 § Methane CH4 § Nitrous oxide N2O § Hydro-Fluro-carbon-HFCs § Perfluro-carbon-PFCs § Sulphur hexafluoride-SF6
¢ Greenhouse Gas (GHGs)
CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE: IPCC ASSESSMENT REPORT (2007)
Causes of Climate Change Greenhouse Gases from different sources
FOREST AS A CENTRE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
¢ Recognizing the contributions of CF � Cash/monetized contributions (timber & NTFPs) � Non-cash contributions (ecosystem services) � Employment � Rural development as pathways out of poverty
q Impertinent role of CF in multi-functions v Biodiversity v Climate change mitigation and adaptation v Multiple functions of forests including spiritual and cultural v Food security and livelihood
q Cross-sectoral linkages of Forests v Agriculture v Water v Energy v Transport v Mining v Health

Beyond Conventional Forest Management ………..
COMMUNITY FORESTRY
Total Area = 47,992 ha No. of FUG = 745 No. of FUG members = 30,484 (as of 28-2-2014)
Ø Empowerment of people for responsible, productive and sustainable management of local forest resources to meet their needs to stimulate local development. (FAO 2008)
Ø Forestry operations in which the local community itself is involved: � such as: establishment of woodlots where there is insufficient
fuelwood and other products for community use; Planting of trees and exploiting of forest products to obtain food supplies, consumer products and income at farmers level (CFI, 1995)
AGRO-FORESTRY
Agroforestry = Agriculture + Forestry + Livestock
v Agroforestry is an integrated approach of using the interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops. v It combines agricultural and forestry technologies to create more diverse, productive, profitable, healthy, and sustainable land-use systems.
v Parklands v Shade systems v Crop-over-tree systems v Alley cropping v Strip cropping v Fauna-based systems
v Boundary systems v Taungyas v Physical support systems v Agroforests v Wind break and shelterbelt
BENEFITS OF AGROFORESTRY
Agroforestry for sustainable green community
BENEFITS OF AGRO-FORESTRY
¢ Reducing poverty through increased production of wood and other tree products
¢ Contributing to food security by restoring the soil fertility for food crops
¢ Cleaner water through reduced nutrient and soil runoff ¢ Countering global warming and the risk of hunger by increasing the
number of drought-resistant trees and the subsequent production of fruits, nuts and edible oils
¢ Reducing deforestation and pressure on woodlands by providing farm-grown fuelwood
¢ Through more diverse farm outputs, improved human nutrition ¢ In situations where people have limited access to mainstream
medicines, providing growing space for medicinal plants

SUSTAINABLE GREEN COMMUNITY
¢ A "sustainable community" seeks to maintain and improve the economic, environmental and social characteristics of an area so its members can continue to lead healthy, productive, enjoyable lives.
SUSTAINABLE GREEN COMMUNITY
¢ Protect, preserve and restore the natural environment. ¢ Establish true-cost pricing economics. ¢ Support local agriculture and local business products and
services. ¢ Develop clustered and multiple-use eco-communities. ¢ Utilize advanced transport, communication and production
systems. ¢ Maximize conservation and develop local renewable
resources. ¢ Establish recycling programs and recycled materials
industries. ¢ Support for environmental education.
Thank you very much!!!!!!
