| dc.description.abstract | Despite widespread reports concerning the role of agroforestry for economic advantage, soil protection, fuel wood, and environmental benefits, not much is known about rural households’ determinant factors of agroforestry practices. This study was conducted to address determinant factors affecting adoption of agroforestry practice in the Legambo District. A cross-sectional research design was applied in four Kebeles of Legambo district involving 361 sample households. Multi-stage sampling techniques were employed to select the district, Kebeles, and sample households. Descriptive statistics and the binary logit model were used to analyze the data. The result from Likert scale on farmers' perceptions about the benefits of agroforestry practices indicated that the mean score of 3.85, 3.65 and 3.58 of the respondents perceived that agroforestry conserves soil and water, improves soil nutrients, and increases farm income, respectively. The result from descriptive statistics, 64.5% of the respondents had adopted different agroforestry practices. Of scattered tree on crop land (63.7%) was mostly adopted by household, while, 13.6% adopted alley cropping. The result indicated that the proportion of adopters of agroforestry practices was higher than non- adopters. Binary linear regression analysis showed adoption of AFPs in the study area was significantly (p ≤0.05) influenced by age, gender, education level, land size and livestock ownership. However, the total land size of the HHs had negative and significant (P ≤ 0.02) influence. Conflict with neighbor landowners (P ≤0.053) and economic status (P≤0.208) were not significant in determining the adoption of agroforestry practices. Therefore, efforts are expected from the concerned bodies to enhance the adoption of agroforestry in the study area | en_US |
