On-Farm Agroforestry Extension aims to create communities of forest villages, especially at the valley so that their members use this area as their homestead and cultivated areas. As a result, the environment and watershed areas will be stabilized which will help in fertilizing the lower cultivated areas. However, providing of seedling and technical-adviser which is part of On-Farm Agroforestry Extension is hardly accepted by farmers. Besides, it takes a lot of time, therefore we try to improve the procedure. We arrange On-Farm Agroforestry Extension Research Project at the hill-side area of Ban Klong Mak Nad, Amphur Srakaew, Prachinburi Province, This forest village is under the project initiated by the King. The project tries to find the possibility of farmer to farmer extension so as to be an alternative of agroforestry extension under the responsibility of the Royal Forest Department. In the first year, we selected farmers to farmers to properly diagnose and design with us. Then we practiced during the first year, we selected, diagnosed and designed proper farmers extension, In the following years, the extensions were made through the chosen farmers of the first two years.
