The University of Queensland, together with its Vietnamese partner institutions, propose a CARD project to enhance the teaching and research capacity of staff in the three institutions. This will be achieved through a project targeting agroforestry systems for livestock feeding in the northern provinces of Vietnam. The project will focus on the use of adapted multipurpose trees in small holder farming and livestock feeding systems. Via this project, the stakeholders comprising university academics, researchers, rural extension personnel and farmers, will participate in interlinked research, training and curriculum development activities | CARD Vietnam - Agroforestry Systems 1.

This will be achieved through a project targeting agroforestry systems for livestock feeding in the northern provinces of Vietnam. The project will focus on the use of adapted multipurpose trees in small holder farming and livestock feeding systems. Via this project the stakeholders comprising university academics researchers rural extension personnel and farmers will participate in interlinked research training and curriculum development activities. The major outputs will be a improved research capacity of 10 National staff arising from study of the value of MPTs in local farming systems and appropriate plant propagation technology b improved teaching capacity arising from new courses in agroforestry and the training of 30 local extension agents in the use of MTPs and c the establishment and utilisation of MTPs on more than 100 smallholdings. Objectives The major development objective will be to enhance teaching and research capacity in livestock feeding systems. This will be achieved via a program designed to improved productivity and dry season livestock feeding systems in a number of provinces in Vietnam by utilising multipurpose tree legumes growing in an agroforestry context. This will be .
