14. AGROFORESTRY FARMING PRACTICES OF SMALLHOLDERS IN LEYTE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS DESIGN

This paper examines evidence from the Leyte Island smallholder socio-economic survey, on the agroforestry systems adopted by smallholders in terms of timber trees and other crops. A number of broad categories of agroforestry systems may be identified, in terms of smallholders growing various tree and crop species and raising livestock on the same land parcels. However, there do not appear to be any favoured and widely adopted species mixtures with particularly high performance that could be rolled-out more widely. Also, at a land-use block level, survey data provides little evidence of widely-adopted specific agroforestry systems
