Evaluating Long-term Socio-Economic Impacts of Agroforestry Adoption on Smallholder Livelihood Resilience
Agroforestry is often promoted for sustainability, yet its long-term impact on smallholder livelihoods remains complex. This study evaluates the comparative socio-economic outcomes of agroforestry versus conventional practices in Eastern Ethiopia.
How does the adoption of agroforestry practices influence the long-term socio-economic resilience of smallholder farmers?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
It remains useful to test whether agroforestry provides consistent socio-economic benefits compared to conventional farming across different household types.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Evidence-based insights will inform policy interventions aimed at improving smallholder livelihoods through sustainable land use.
