description |
Trees on farms are often overlooked in
agricultural and natural resource research and policy in
Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper addresses this gap using data
from the Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated
Surveys on Agriculture in five countries: Ethiopia, Malawi,
Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda. Trees on farms are
widespread. On average, one third of rural smallholders grow
trees. They account for an average of 17 percent of total
annual gross income for tree-growing households and 6
percent for all rural households. Gender, land and labor
endowments, and especially forest proximity and national
context are key determinants of on-farm tree adoption and
management. These new, national-scale insights on the
prevalence, economic contribution and determinants of trees
on farms in Africa lay the basis for exploring the
interaction of agriculture, on-farm tree cultivation, and
forestry. This will improve our understanding of rural
livelihood dynamics. |
