Food security is one of the main problems under the pandemic and climate change condition that we currently face. Managing peatland to fulfill community needs faces several problems including peat fire, GHG emissions and loss of biodiversity. Agroforestry is one of land use systems on peatland that is capable of accommodating different interests while still concerning the conservation purposes. This study aimed to assess the potential of agroforestry for ensuring the food security of local communities. This research was carried out in the Kalampangan Village, Palangka Raya City central Kalimantan for six months. This study used both quantitative and qualitative approaches, including interviews and field observations. Interviews were carried out with 13 farmers in Kalampangan who applied an agroforestry system. The data gathered included all agroforestry components and number of the food production component. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed three agroforestry types were applied by the Village community Kalampangan, namely agrosilviculture, agrosilvopasture, and agrofisheries. The biodiversity of agroforestry in Kalapangan is relatively high, with a total of 58 different species identified. A total of 86% of all agroforestry components are sources of food, including fruits, vegetables, seeds, tubers, spices and livestock. The information above shows that the peatland agroforestry in the Kalampangan Village has the potential to support food security while maintaining the biodiversity. Thus, agroforestry can be recommended as a peatland land use and rehabilitation strategies to accommodate the basic needs of local communities and increasing their prosperity.

Spopularyzowana głównie w Europie Zachodniej koncepcja rolnictwa konwencjonalnego, w ostatniej dekadzie ubiegłego wieku oparta na chemizacji, hodowli nowych odmian oraz mechanizacji i automatyzacji, przyniosła wielkie zyski ekonomiczne, lecz z czasem powstały przez nią liczne zagrożenia. Zaprowadziły one finalnie do degradacji środowiska i ostatecznie sprawiły, że dziś mówi się już o prowadzeniu nowego modelu rolnictwa – regeneracyjnego, agroekologii, rolnictwa o obiegu zamkniętym czy agroleśnictwa.

This paper discusses the setting up of a multivariate statistical method in selecting the useful soil quality indicators for soil quality assessment under agroforestry pattern. The of soil quality has been recognized as a tool to determine the sustainability of land resources, especially in agroforestry development. The study was carried out at Upper Citarum Watershed of Bandung district, West Java province, Indonesia. The soil samples were taken with purposive sampling under agroforestry pattern. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used as the multivariate statistical method to identify the minimum data set (MDS); scoring of each indicator, and data integration in the index of soil quality. The MDS consisted of four soil chemical indicators and represented 83.6% of the variability of data, i.e., pH, and exchangeable Calcium (exch Ca), organic Carbon (org C), and exchangeable Natrium (exch Na) respectively. The soil quality index (SQI) was categorized under agroforestry pattern as moderate. The artificial agroforestry-based coffee with an intercropping system (timber woods, multi purpose trees and horticultures) provides better soil quality.

Agroforestry systems are traditional land management systems that are recently under development in the temperate zone. These systems are defined as sustainable ways of land use which integrate both agricultural and forestry practices on the same land and at the same time. They are of particular significance to marginal regions and degraded lands where the land use system represents an alternative to land abandonment and afforestation, leads to diversification of land use and offers new socio-economic benefits. Agroforestry systems improve the efficiency of utilisation of natural resources, improve microclimatic conditions within the system, can help mitigate severe soil erosion problems and nutrient losses, enhance landscape biodiversity, lead to an overall high biomass production for material or energetical conversion (fuelwood), and thus matching the increasing demand for a self-supply with bioenergy in rural decentralized areas. For this reason, in the temperate zone, agroforestry systems attract more and more public attention as they offer a promising and comprising way to produce biomass and food, the evaluation of the carbon and nutrient budgets, the assessment of the potential impact of agroforestry on biodiversity at landscape scale and finally the exploration of the sustainability functions and socio-economic cross-cutting issues.

Systemy rolnoleśne są to tradycyjne systemy zarządzania gruntami, od niedawna rozwijające się w klimacie strefy umiarkowanej. Systemy te określane są jako trwałe metody użytkowania gruntów, które w tym samym czasie i na tym samym gruncie łączą zarówno praktyki rolne jak i leśne. Mają one szczególne znaczenie dla marginalnych i zdegradowanych regionów, ponadto stanowią alternatywę dla opuszczonych terenów i zalesianych gruntów, prowadzą do zróżnicowania przestrzennego terenu i oferują nowe korzyści społeczno-ekonomiczne. Systemy rolnoleśne poprawiają efektywność wykorzystania zasobów naturalnych, poprawiają warunki mikroklimatyczne w ramach systemu, mogą być pomocne w łagodzeniu poważnych problemów erozji gleby oraz strat składników mineralnych, zwiększają różnorodność biologiczną, prowadzą do wysokiej produkcji biomasy lub konwersji materiału energetycznego (drewna opałowego) przyczyniając się w ten sposób do wzrostu popytu na własne dostawy bioenergii w obszarach wiejskich, szczególnie zdecentralizowanych. Dlatego też, w strefie klimatu umiarkowanego, systemy rolnoleśne przyciągają uwagę opinii publicznej, oferując obiecujący sposób wytwarzania biomasy, żywności, oszacowania zasobów węgla i składników mineralnych, oferując ocenę potencjalnego wpływu systemów rolnoleśnych na różnorodność biologiczną w skali krajobrazu i wreszcie proponują oszacowanie funkcji zrównoważonego rozwoju i zależności społeczno-gospodarczych.

In the last years the agricultural areas in Poland have been under great alterations caused by external production requirements. The food demand and farm products. prices decreased which became an important turn in comparison with the previous political period of almost unrestricted demand and high prices for farm products. That phase, very beneficial for farms. development had negative impact on ecosystem, which nowadays may be observed in environment. Among others they caused water eutrophisation and decrease of landscape values. Changes in prices and demand for products also influenced the socio-economic situation. The food overproduction and in consequence the decrease of farmers. income and employment or later on an exclusion of vast areas from agricultural production may be observed in the whole country. The situation caused the need for employment of the surplus of the human sources and new management of all agricultural land. It is the alternative crops that create the greatest opportunities for implementation of these free sources. They enable a faster flow of financial funds compared to, for example forestation; moreover they can be a source of new products for local industry development. Those features are attributed to poplar plants, planted since long by farmers in Italy, France, Belgium and Great Britain. The aim of this research is to localise, with the use of GIS tools, the potential areas for such plants. The assumptions are obligatory within the European PAMUCEAF Programme and are associated with the localisation of potential plantations on the agricultural grounds and with the requirements of rules in sustainable development. Environmental data of geomorphological, climatological, soil and hydrological information were processed into environmental characteristics that became compared with the poplars. requirements in terms of water supply, soil conditions, drought resistance, risk of frost etc. It was also arranged the information of the location of population, works and so, for delimitation of the areas where poplars could be implemented in varied strength and associated with the environmental, economical and sociological restrictions. The first stage of the research eliminated the areas improper for poplars. planting. The second one excluded the forest and designated areas from those of eligible environmental conditions. In the third stage the key areas for suggested poplar plantations were delimitated. Further on, they were divided into separates, in which the economical and social issues e.g. the lack of local market separated from the development centres or high unemployment rate, became recognised as the main aspects of introducing poplars. The main results of the research are the maps of Poland presenting the areas with the most appropriate physical conditions for poplar plantations. These are the areas in northeast part of the country as well as in the south central ones. The advantages water conditions as well as relatively low frost pisk were the most important factors that decided of the delimitation. In some areas, mostly in northern part, the frost resistant clones should be considered the Polish research conducted since the 70. indicated either the native or northamerican ones. The suggestions associated with the implementation of crops in terms of socio-economical requirements reveal that wood as well as agricultural landscape improvement effects could be gained in the areas close to big city areas as well as in the villages with a high social potential rate.
