Due to little adoption of the agroforestry practices, land degradation has become a serious pressing problem in various parts of the world in general and in study area in particular. Therefore, these studies aim to assess the determents of the agroforestry practices in the study area. Therefore, based on multi-stage sampling techniques 184 randomly selected sample households’ heads was determined. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as T-test, chi-square tests, and binary logit model was used to compare the mean difference between adopters and non-adopters households. The finding the study shows Senegal (L. Britton), home garden, and boundary planting are the most common agroforestry practices in the study area. The mean annual income for adopter farm households' heads was 1148743.00 birr, and for non-adopters, was 138675.00 birr. This implies that agroforestry practices make a significant contribution to the adopter's income. However, lack of farmland (27.7%), pests (16.3%), and low market access (15.2%) are major constraints that determine the adoption of the agroforestry practices in the study area. The results of the binary logistic model specify that age, farm size, and distance negatively affect the adoption of agroforestry practices in the study area. While perception were positively and significantly influence adoption of agroforestry practices in the study area, Therefore, the governmental & non-governmental organizations should have to develop new land policies to remove barriers to land access, tree tenure & an array of exotic tree species should be required to resist pests and drought conditions in study area.

“…It will be worthwhile to have a brief look at literature involving the explanatory variables used in our studypercentage of BPL households; average annual income per family; percentage of pucca houses in the village; gender ratio (GR)number of females per thousand males; literacy rate; percentage of the population above graduation. Mebrate et al (2022) showed that annual income has a significant impact on farmers in South Ethiopia with respect to adoption of composting. Further, education level of the household head significantly influences the practice of mulch adoption.…”

PurposeIndia has taken a successful step towards meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by providing access to basic amenities such as safe drinking water, waste management, drainage systems and bio-compost pits in households. The purpose of this study is to identify factors that significantly impact access to such basic amenities in villages in two states in the hilly regions of India.Design/methodology/approachVillage-level secondary data collected from the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) website has been analyzed using multiple linear regression and non-parametric statistical tests. Socio-economic and demographic variables are the independent factors in regression whereas availability of basic amenities is the dependent variable.FindingsFindings reveal that in Himachal Pradesh, gender ratio, annual income per family, percentage of BPL households, percentage of pucca houses, and percentage of village population above graduation, significantly impact access to piped water in village households. Also, literacy rate and percentage of population with education above graduation significantly impact availability of compost pits. Further, in Uttarakhand, percentage of pucca houses influences access to waste collection system and availability of compost pits. Availability of drainage systems is influenced by literacy rate. A comparison between the two hilly states reveals that Himachal Pradesh is better off in terms of ease of access to drinking water whereas Uttarakhand is ahead in terms of other amenities.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, no other studies have used socio-economic and demographic variables to study access to basic amenities in villages in hilly states in India.
