Residents describe themselves principally as farmers who cultivate the flood plain of the river. Farmers have long lived on rice, but commodity crops are increasingly important for farmer's economic needs, and thus swiddens have expanded, mainly foe rubber. The traditional forest control system has disappeared as well as nagari forest. Territorial forest control is relatively weak. Forest Land is no longer controlled locally, especially with the increase in absentee land owners.
Farmer can get land and grow crops easily in the inner forest is free from lineage control.
The project is trying to integrate natural resources management objectives with the goals of cultural preservation and local economic development. Some members of the Foundation are actively engaged in the collection, conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources at the community level. Local rice variety is the main priority.
