Breve descrição e especificações técnicas da tecnologia

Technology for Agrosilvo pasture:
- Use local input (species) Gmelina, Albazia, "Jabon", "Mindi", Sesbania, Gliricidia, Flemingia, Leucaena, etc
- Use local knowledge and practices
- Suitable to local socio culture
- Livestock as economic component.
- Could be run as a business modern, profitable and sustainable.
Technology for embung development plus closed irrigation (pipe irrigation):
- Embung is small farm reservoir
- Suitable in elevated or depressed areas (valleys)
- Suitable when rainfall more than 800 – 1500 mm/year
- Need at least 0.2 – 0.5 hectare of terrace rice catchment or 0.6 – 1.0 hectare of grassland catchment
- Closed irrigation is a pipe irrigation, non flooded irrigation, best suited for dryland, save water.
Technology for integrated farming:
- Combination of food crop, hedgerows, grasses, timber and livestock.
- Planted East-West direction regardless of slopes direction.|
Crops and trees is planted East-West direction regardless of slope direction. Contour is planted with grasses or other short hedgerows to allow sunlight penetration to all spaces available between rows. This arrangement will not only serve for soil and water conservation but also increase the productivity of the land. Planting trees based on terrace concept is good for conserving the environment but not for getting the highest potential economic that can be obtained through crop production of the land.

Mostly Project based initiatives, sometimes can not be done and implemented as it is recommended by "Pagar Tejo" system (due to bureaucratic rules). Most governmental program is temporal. Program funded by UN-WFP, after three years program the system is intact, involving more than 1000 household. The "Pagar Tejo" system is now has been improved with introduction of social and institution designs on its implementation. With this latest development, a sustainable integrated farming production system is achieved. |

Descreva os impactos no local (os dois principais impactos por categoria)

Production of foods, animal fodder, and livestock is guaranteed. Agriculture production is not limited only to rainy seasons, agricultural productions is more various and multiplied. Timber and fuelwood are abundant. Manure is abundant and potential for biogas and compost.|
Income source is various: from selling food crops, green fodder, firewood, and timber. People purchasing power increases, spending capacity increases, various jobs and entrepreneurship activities develope.|
Institutional Level:
Development of farmer groups is unabated. Cultural and institutional designs added to this technological design, makes collaborative work among the farmers necessary. This strengthens the existence and bargaining powers of the farmers. |
More carbon is saved into soil, agriculture is more adapted to changing world climate.|
Agriculture production is not limited only during rainy seasons but extended to whole year. Consequently with the job availability, many people can get jobs. Agriculture activity is exteremely increased.|
Culture is changing: people work around times, planting, harvesting, grassing, pruning, cutting, and tending the livestock; as compared to 5-6 months work out of 12 months before the implementation of this LAYLIFE technology.|
Land is covered by crops, grasses, hedgerows and trees for whole year. Land, water and air is conserved. Erosion is faded. Micro climate is improved to better condition. Humidity is maintained at comfortable levels.|
Specific empowerment activities develope by Craken Foundation (with regards to LAYLIFE technology) could translate a donated program becomes a sustainable empowerment self funding with continues economic development.

Descreva os dois principais impactos fora do local (isto é, não ocorrendo no local, mas nas áreas circunvizinhas)

People in many villages in West Nusa Tenggara province and other provinces in Indonesia wants to have a LAYLIFE empowerment model that has been done by Craken Foundation
Many rich people have established its own LAYLIFE in their land. This   activity will bring about jobs and incomes to many people (mostly poor farmers and landless farmers) since this technology requires labor forces.

Impacto sobre a biodiversidade e a mudança climática

Explique as razões:

The eroded land, degraded land, waste land, critical dryland, monoculture food crops agricultural land are mostly poor with trees and lacks for land cover. LAYLIFE implementation translate the bare land into well covered land mostly with the hedgerows and timber as well as grasses and horticultural trees as the main source for livestock food in this technology. The growth of trees, grasses, hedgerows, and other fruit trees that always greening the land is a sign of improved carbon sequestration on the land, in the forms of above dan below ground biomass. Composting the manure through biogas production for household energy will convert more carbon into CO2, and returning the compost to the land will fertile the soil and increases the level of organic carbon in the soil, thus improves more carbon sequestration into the soil |
The growth of various crops, green fodder, and trees will conserve the water and topsoil losses, therefore more water availability and soil productivity. More trees and land cover will improve better micro climate, less hot, and more humidity. Reduce the strength of the wind and protect food crops from excessive sunlight exposure. This will provide a better guarantee for crop harvest. More complex agricultural system will usually improve the resilience of food crops to harsh climate. Thus provide better food crop adaptability to climate change.|
In LAYLIFE, Land covered by various food crops, tubers, grasses, hedgerows, timber, horticultural trees, and many other plants, as compared to land mostly use only for grains production in monoculture agriculture, show the significant increase in biodiversity. Different crops will attract diversity in insects and other organism above and below ground, making ecological revival and returning the more complex ecological agricultural system. Improved water availability, humidity, and micro climate will also trigger to more flora lives and consequently the herbivore and other fauna. Returning the manure or compost to the land will fertilize the soil, improved the organic matter contain of the soil that are the main source of energy and food for soil organism.|

Você pode identificar as três principais condições que levaram ao sucesso das melhores práticas/tecnologias apresentadas?

Simplicity and flexibility in adoption of this technology make everyone can implement this "Pagar Tejo" technology easily and starts it its own LAYLIFE. For the poor the sign of improved livelihood can be enjoyed during the first six months in program. For Indonesia situation, 1000 US$ can transfer the poor into the prosper household within 1,5-2 year program.|
Keen strugle from the founder of LAYLIFE and the Craken Foundation members that this technology can change the world. This technology is replicable elsewhere in Indonesia and most region in the tropical belt with some level of adaptation. In wetter region, caring for livestocks tending should be given priority due to deseases attacks. |
Huge economic benefit from the implementation of LAYLIFE has trigger the willingness of many people to develop one in their land.
