“…The landscape is characterised by extensive agricultural use (mostly monocultures of soybean, sugarcane and cattle farming; Badari et al., 2020), private rural properties, MST settlements and forest fragments (Uezu, 2006; Uezu & Metzger, 2016). Deforestation in the region began with its occupation between 1850 and 1930, a period characterised by violence, land grabbing, extermination of the indigenous population and destruction of the natural environment (Leonidio, 2009). Deforestation peaked in the mid‐20th century with land cleared for cattle production and coffee plantations (Leonidio, 2009; de Rezende et al., 2015), leaving almost no native forest outside the 36,000 ha protected Morro do Diabo State Park (MDSP) the second largest area of semi‐deciduous tropical forest in the Atlantic Forest biome (Uezu et al., 2008).…”

The role of agroforestry in restoring Brazil's Atlantic Forest: Opportunities and challenges for smallholder farmers

Restoring the degraded Atlantic Forest is one of the biggest conservation challenges in Brazil. In a biome with high human presence, understanding the potential for restoration approaches, such as agroforestry, to provide benefits to smallholder farmers and biodiversity is essential in developing equitable restoration strategies. Smallholder or family farmers are essential to national food security, producing most fruit and vegetables consumed in Brazil. Their farms can also provide ecological stepping stones for biodiversity. To better understand their role in Atlantic Forest restoration, this study explores the use of agroforestry by smallholder farmers from the Movimento Sem Terra (MST), the Rural Landless Workers' Movement, in Pontal do Paranapanema. We use quantitative and qualitative data to assess farmer perceptions of the measures which support agroforestry farming, barriers to implementation and its impact on indicators of wellbeing. We find agroforestry farmers report significant benefits in 8 of 18 tested indicators. Attitudes to agroforestry are varied, but common themes emerge including the high value of tree cover for shade and cooling effects, and the difficulties in selling agroforestry products. Our results show lack of policy support and initial investment needs are the biggest constraints to agroforestry, but opportunity cost is not considered a large barrier. Tailored policies and financial measures are needed to integrate thousands of smallholder farmers into the Atlantic Forest restoration agenda, helping to reach biome restoration targets while supporting rural livelihoods and national food security. Further research is required into links between additional socio‐economic and biogeographical variables and agroforestry uptake in the region.

“…Deforestation in the region peaked in mid-20th century for cattle production and coffee plantations (Leonidio 2009), and pasturelands on flat topography have been rapidly replaced by sugarcane plantations in the last decade. Land tenure in the region is heterogeneous, including land-reform settlements, small and large farms from private farmers and sugarcane mills, and protected areas (Valladares-Padua et al 2002), such as the "Morro do Diabo" State Park, the second largest forest remnant (37,000 ha) of seasonal semi-deciduous forest in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Uezu et al 2008).…”

Large-scale forest restoration relies on approaches that are cost-effective and economically attractive to farmers, and in this context agroforestry systems may be a valuable option. Here, we compared ecological outcomes among (1) 12-15-year-old coffee agroforests established with several native shade trees, (2) 12-15-year-old high-diversity restoration plantations, and (3) reference old-growth forests, within a landscape restoration project in the Pontal do Paranapanema region, in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. We compared the aboveground biomass, canopy cover, and abundance, richness, and composition of trees, and the regenerating saplings in the three forest types. In addition, we investigated the landscape drivers of natural regeneration in the restoration plantations and coffee agroforests. Reference forests had a higher abundance of trees and regenerating saplings, but had similar levels of species richness compared to coffee agroforests. High-diversity agroforests and restoration plantations did not differ in tree abundance. However, compared to restoration plantations, agroforests showed higher abundance and species richness of regenerating saplings, a higher proportion of animal-dispersed species, and higher canopy cover. The abundance of regenerating saplings declined with increasing density of coffee plants, thus indicating a potential trade-off between productivity and ecological benefits. High-diversity coffee agroforests provide a cost-effective and ecologically viable alternative to high-diversity native tree plantations for large-scale forest restoration within agricultural landscapes managed by local communities, and should be included as part of the portfolio of reforestation options used to promote the global agenda on forest and landscape restoration.

A região foi a última intensamente desmatada do Estado de São Paulo, principalmente a partir da década de 1950.…”
