    Youth is often the time when a person starts to dream of the future, think of the path to take and boldly and aggressively set his/her life in motion. In many rural villages, to be a farmer is not part of this dreamt future . Farming is a lowly job and does not earn, so better migrate to cities or abroad where there may be more opportunities and adventure. What will then be the future of agriculture and food without young farmers? No farmer, no food. No food, no life.

    There is a very close relationship between forestry and farming. Both forests and farms are source of food (both from plants and animals), nutrition, health, and livelihoods for family farmers. Besides, forests provide sources for fuel, energy, water and medicines. Forests beautify and contribute to biodiversity in a particular landscape.

    The authors evaluate the impact of
    farmer field schools, an intensive participatory training
    program emphasizing integrated pest management. Their
    evaluation focuses on whether participation in the program
    has improved yields and reduced pesticide use among
    graduates and their neighbors who may have gained knowledge
    from graduates through informal communications. The authors
    use panel data covering the period 1991-99 in Indonesia.

    This article assesses the impact of the
    East Asian financial crisis on farm households in two of the
    region's most affected countries, Indonesia and
    Thailand, using detailed household level survey data
    collected before and after the crisis began. Although the
    natures of the shocks in the two countries were similar, the
    impact on farmers' income (particularly on
    distribution) was quite different. In Thailand, poor farmers

    The authors describe and analyze an unconventional approach to river basin management in a developing country undergoing rapid economic, political, and institutional change. The founding of the Brantas River Basin Management Corporation (Perum Jasa Tirta I - PJT 1), a national state-owned company for river basin management, initiated an emphasis on river basin management to operate and maintain existing infrastructure, plan and implement the allocation of water, and address problems that affect basin-level water resources.

    There is still a long road ahead before all Indonesian's can benefit from the full potential of ICT. That road seems even longer to rural women. Despite some improvements in access and the rapid deployment of lower cost wireless technologies, not much has changed in rural areas of Indonesia. Infrastructure in rural areas is limited and existing services are expensive and practically outside of rural women's reach. Women still face enormous barriers and access to communications and information relevant to their realities is very limited.

    Indonesian agriculture is at a
    crossroads. Supporting the livelihood of millions of
    Indonesians, it needs to underpin renewed and robust growth
    of the economy; and be a key component of the
    Government's poverty alleviation strategy. The
    challenge for the future is to reinvigorate productivity
    gains among rural producers, and provide the foundation for
    long run sustainability of these productivity gains.

    Indonesia

    Indonesia stands at the threshold of a new era and at an important juncture of its history. After the historic economic, political and social upheavals at the end of the 1990s, Indonesia has started to regain its footing. The country has largely recovered from the economic and financial crisis that threw millions of its citizens back into poverty in 1998 and saw it regress to a low-income status. Recently, it has once again crossed the threshold, making it one of the world's emergent middle-income countries.

    The agriculture sector has been and will
    continue to be important for poverty alleviation efforts in
    Indonesia. Indonesia was very successful in increasing
    agriculture productivity during the 1970s and up to the
    early 1990s, but productivity stagnated during most of the
    1990s, partly as a result of declining public investments.
    Public spending on agriculture has increased significantly
    in the last decade, but a large share of that spending has

    The authors use regression analysis to
    assess the potential welfare impact of rainfall shocks in
    rural Indonesia. In particular, they consider two shocks:
    (i) a delay in the onset of monsoon and (ii) a significant
    shortfall in the amount of rain in the 90 day post-onset
    period. Focusing on households with family farm businesses,
    the analysis finds that a delay in the monsoon onset does
    not have a significant impact on the welfare of rice
