Fruit Tree Based Agroforestry Restoring Landscapes, Livelihoods and Lives

Smallholder farmers are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, particularly due to their reliance on agriculture, which is sensitive to climatic variations. In developing countries like the Philippines, these farmers face compounded challenges from extreme weather events, resource degra...

description Smallholder farmers are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, particularly due to their reliance on agriculture, which is sensitive to climatic variations. In developing countries like the Philippines, these farmers face compounded challenges from extreme weather events, resource degradation, and socio-economic limitations such as poverty and inadequate access to social services. Climate extremes, including prolonged dry and wet seasons, threaten their crops, livelihoods, and food security, leading to significant income losses. Despite these challenges, few farmers have adjusted their farming practices due to limited resources and knowledge. Agroforestry, a tree-based farming system, has emerged as an effective climate adaptation strategy for smallholder farmers. Combining trees with crops and livestock, agroforestry offers multiple economic and ecological benefits, such as increased crop production, provision of timber and fuelwood, and enhanced resilience to climate extremes. In addition to adaptation, agroforestry contributes to climate change mitigation by providing ecosystem services that sequester carbon. This synergistic approach highlights the potential of agroforestry to address both the immediate and long-term needs of smallholder farmers, balancing climate resilience with sustainable development. This book explores the role of agroforestry in restoring landscapes, livelihoods, and lives, offering innovative solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation in vulnerable agricultural systems.
