Discover Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 2(1)

Published: Aug. 25, 2024

Agroforestry practices (AFPs) play a critical role in enhancing income and reducing poverty. This study assessed the effect of AFPs on poverty status farmers Lay Armachiho (LA), Bahir Dar Zuria (BDR), Banja districts Northwestern Ethiopia. 387 households, 63 key informants were interviewed. Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, FGT index, Gini coefficient, multiple linear regression. About 49.35% respondents are categorized poor with gap 18.93 severity level 9.7. was greatest persons below (59.2%), followed by BDR (49.72%). contribute 28.43% to household income. Income from lowered ratio, households 13%, 9%, 7%, respectively. area between line equality Lorenz curve, as well 7.97%. also disparity all districts. Age, land size, road accessibility, irrigation, experience, types affect positively. Family size membership credit institutions had negative effect. Thus, order lower raise income, labor productivity, service system, irrigation infrastructure, need be improved scaled up.

Carbon balance analysis of agricultural production systems in oasis areas

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: July 19, 2024

Abstract China is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in world, and agricultural GHG emission accounts for nearly a fifth total China. To understand carbon absorption characteristics production systems those arid oasis areas, typical representative city northwestern China, Zhangye City, was selected study.The factor method used to analyze calculate changing dynamics whole system region (38,592 km 2 ) from 2010 2021.The results revealed that emissions during planting mainly come fertilizers, which account highest proportion (47.9%) planting. Animal enteric fermentation local livestock farming are main contributor (86%) emissions. The annual average intensity 4.4 t C-eq ha −1 crop 2.6 system. ratio sequestration crops 1:1.7. We find slightly exceeds its study region, with an 41% sustainable development index. Carbon this area driven by industry, mostly CH 4 cattle raising.Reducing typically raising, will play crucial role reducing maintaining net positive balance.

Case Studies of Successful Agroforestry Projects

Advances in environmental engineering and green technologies book series, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 143 - 172

Published: Feb. 28, 2025

Agroforestry, a sustainable land-based management system integrates trees with crops and livestock, has deep historical roots in Asian African countries. Apart from providing numerous social, economic, environmental benefits agroforestry plays crucial role bolstering climate resilience within agricultural systems. This chapter presents different case studies Asia Africa showing the potent of tree-based farming practices enhancing soil health, water management, biodiversity conservation, besides helping to ensure food nutritional security rural households. Countries like India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Uzbekistan have demonstrated agroforestry's potential boosting productivity, improving diversification income sources. Similarly, Africa, vital combating insecurity, poverty, land degradation. summarizes pre-requisites for unlocking create resilient landscape.

The Role of Agroforestry in Climate Change Mitigation

Advances in environmental engineering and green technologies book series, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 201 - 228

Published: Feb. 28, 2025

The climate crisis poses a substantial risk to achieving global food security and sustainability. This chapter presents an analysis of the current level knowledge regarding agroforestry's ability promote simultaneously resilience, availability, eco-friendly land use. Agroforestry systems (AFS) are recognized as potent carbon (C) sinks, effectively reducing atmospheric dioxide (CO2) levels. It is estimated that trees in AFS can sequester 0.3-24 tC ha-1 yr-1. AFS, which occupy about 1 billion ha worldwide, have potential remove more than 10GtC yr-1 from atmosphere if fully optimized. C sequestration benefits be monetized by farmers, providing supplementary income source through credit market. In addition sequestration, provide numerous co-benefits such food, biodiversity conservation, soil erosion control, water cycling. key strategy for counteracting excessive emissions.
