The Role of Agroforestry Lowering Farmers? Exposure to Climate Change

Wendu Kebede Gemeda, Zerfu Deresu Wariyo

Agroforestry plays a crucial role in climate change adaptation and increases resilience to its effects by promoting diverse land-use patterns, sustainable livelihoods and income streams, higher forest and agricultural output, and a reduction in production losses due to weather. Agroforestry has had a significant role in reducing farmers’ sensitivity to shock. Reduced susceptibility, improved farming system resilience, and home protection from climate-related dangers are all made possible by trees. Subsistence farmers are among those who are most sensitive to current climatic fluctuation. For smallholder farmers who are susceptible to the effects of climate change, agroforestry systems offer a number of benefits. These systems may be particularly crucial in rural, agriculturally based economies where there are few other viable sources of income. They can also boost output and financial stability while assisting systems in adjusting to increased climatic variability and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions through sequestration. Increased agricultural production, environmental sustainability, food security, income diversification, specific coping mechanisms, a higher standard of living, and soil and water conservation are some of the major advantages of agroforestry. Many agroforestry systems have the capacity to both lessen and respond to climatic uncertainty. Agroforestry systems, in general, voluntarily include both mitigation and adaptation techniques and provide disadvantaged farmers with a variety of options to guarantee food security while minimizing climate change.
