Sungai Radak Dua Village, located in Terentang Subdistrict, Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan, has been a migrant village since 1984, initially established to support crop production in the area. However, frequent flooding over the past decade has significantly altered the community's livelihood options, leading to a shift from annual crops to oil palm cultivation or leaving the land abandoned as bare ground.
The women's group has utilized home gardens to grow vegetables, but this activity is limited to subsistence due to the scarcity of suitable land. Following a series of data collection and analysis, ICRAF, through the Peat-IMPACTS Project, selected Sungai Radak Dua as a pilot village for developing an agro-silvo-fishery business model in collaboration with the community.
The success of a 0.5-hectare agro-silvo-fishery demonstration plot sparked interest from the village government, which expanded the system to 40 hectares. The village head allocated village funds to support the development of agro-silvo-fishery initiatives for the community. A farmer group will manage approximately 2 hectares to cultivate fruit trees, annual crops, and fish.
