Integrating local knowledge with tree diversity analyses to optimize on-farm tree species composition for ecosystem service delivery in coffee agroforestry systems of Uganda

Coffee agroforestry systems deliver ecosystem services (ES) critical for rural livelihoods like food but also disservices that constrain livelihoods like fostering coffee-pests. Since such ES are treebased, maximizing ES and limiting constraints requires knowledge on optimizing on-farm tree composition especially trees adapted to local conditions. The study was in three sites along a rainfall gradient in Central Uganda where we: assessed tree diversity in coffee agroforestry; ranked tree suitability for providing ES according to farmers' knowledge; and then proposed an approach for optimizing on-farm tree composition for delivery of ES. We collected data on tree diversity and, farmers' knowledge of tree species and the ES they provide. Farmers ranked ES in order of importance to their livelihoods ('Needs rank') and ranked trees according to suitability for providing ES. Using Bradley Terry modeling, we grouped trees into 'ES groups' according to suitability for providing different ES and ranked 'ES groups' according to tree diversity ('Diversity rank'). Tree-suitability for providing ES and importance of ES to farmers varied with rainfall regime but tree diversity did not match farmers' needs for ES. We propose the FaD-FaN (matching farm tree diversity to farmers' needs) approach for optimizing tree species composition with respect to tree-suitability for farmers' priority ES. Farmers locally prioritize ES needed and identify trees that best serve such ES. The approach then focuses on modifying on-farm tree diversity to match/suit 123Agroforest Syst https://doi.org/10.1007/s10457-017-0172-8 farmers' priority ES. The FaD-FaN approach caters for varying socio-ecological conditions; it's adaptable for other coffee and cocoa-growing areas worldwide.

“…The traditional agroforestry system is a centuriesold agricultural practice and has become an important agricultural model in the world, especially in the tropical and sub-tropical area, which is, from the economic, ecological, and socio-cultural viewpoints, profitable to the community who runs it (Weiwei et al 2014). Agroforestry can be used as a strategy to prevent deforestation and land degradation (Minang et al 2014); and as a strategy to reduce the CO 2 level in the atmosphere by increasing the C deposit in agricultural land (Hergoualch et al 2012;Astiani and Ripin 2016). Agroforestry is a form of local wisdom coming from the local community to preserve biodiversity, in particular, tengkawang tree (ITTO 2011).…”

Abstract. Winarni B, Lahjie AM, Simarangkir B.D.A.S, Yusuf S, Ruslim Y.2017. Tengkawang cultivation model in community forest using agroforestry systems in West Kalimantan,. Tengkawang is the flora mascot of West Kalimantan and has long been supporting the life of people around the forest. Its fruit can be processed into fat which traded as 'green butter', 'borneo tallow', or 'tengkawang oil', which used as cocoa butter substitutes and the material for manufacturing lipstick, candle and drugs. Its wood was used as raw material for sawmill and plywood industries. Today, tengkawang tree existence is endangered and has been replaced with rubber plantations. The purposes of this research were to: (i) analyze the maximum growth increment of tengkawang; (ii) analyze the maximum production of tengkawang fruits and latex; (iii) analyze the financial feasibility of tengkawang cultivation and tengkawang combined with rubber; and (iv)formulate tengkawang cultivation model. The research used a descriptive method in survey form and interview technique by using questionnaire. The research result showed that the maximum growth increment of tengkawang which cultivated in monoculture (model 1) and tengkawang combined with rubber (model 2) were achieved at the age of 40 years. The maximum production of tengkawang fruit in model 1 and model 2 were achieved at the age of 64 years, while the maximum production of latex (model 2) was achieved at the age of 17 years. The cultivation of tengkawang by model 1 produced IRR of 12.3% and model 2 produced IRR of 12.9%. Financially, both cultivation models of tengkawang were feasible to be cultivated. Financially, tengkawang cultivation by using rubber in an agroforestry system was more profitable than tengkawang cultivation in monoculture.

“…Yet, several studies (e.g. Minang et al (2014a); Ghazoul et al (2010) report many instances of poor stakeholder engagements in national REDD+ processes. Other studies also reveal that national policies, especially those outside of the forestry sector, are key drivers of deforestation in many developing countries (Wehkamp et al, 2015;Brown and Bird, 2008 …”

“…Agroforestry practices, if supported by REDD+, could replenish land productivity and supply households with forest goods such as firewood and poles and these would minimise leakage in situations where forest access is restricted for REDD+ (Minang et al, 2014a). In recent times, agroforestry alongside other measures such as drought tolerant crops, zero tillage has been integrated as part of climate smart agriculture initiatives aimed at achieving triple wins mitigation, adaptation and food security (Mbow et al, 2014).…”

Effective implementation of rules on reduced emission from avoided deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) depends on the compatibility between these rules and existing sectoral policies associated with forests. This paper applies content analysis of policy documents, semi-structured interviews and case study analysis to examine the interplay between REDD+ rules and Kenyan sectorial policies and local socioeconomic
