Samenvatting

This management plan is written for the STEMA Bible school. The School wants to be self-sufficient regarding their vegetables and crops by increasing the yield of their community forest. The school is located on Ambon which is an island of the Moluccas archipelago in Indonesia. The community forest, locally known as a “dusun”, plays an important role for its adjacent communities. Besides providing food, medicine and wood, it also provides ecological services like erosion control and biodiversity conservation. Besides these advantages, it also has disadvantages like its relatively low crop yield. This low productivity is mainly caused by lack of management and competition for space and nutrients.
