| Abstract | Rubber agroforest managed by smallholder, a low intensity cultivation system with a forest like structure, cover more than 1 million ha in Indonesia and contribute significantly to the conservation of forest species. In the face of the rapid deforestation that is a taking place in Indonesia, their importance for conservation is of fundamental importance. Rubber agroforests offer many economic advantages to smallholder, such as low development costs and minimal risk. However, they offer a smaller return on land and labor than alternative land uses, such as the monoculture of high-yielding hevea clones, oil palm, and in areas close to urban markets, intensive food crop production. |
