Indigenous on farmland tree management as a basis for farm forestry: a case study from central zone of Tigray, Ethiopia
1997
Atakilte Beyene
Pattern of farmer tree growing is changing from tree use on common land to tree planting on private land, in which on-farmland trees are now regarded as crucial component of the resource base to solve the rural biomass crisis. Similarly, the often neglected wisdom of the rural people as regards resource management is now being recognised as an important source of information for rural development practitioners-there is a need to understand existing conditions! The study focus was to learn how farmers integrate trees in to their farming system and to identify and analyse the factors affecting farmers' decision about tree growing. Such a knowledge could be used to design sound research and extension in the field of farm forestry. Subsistence sedentary farming was the main econmic activity of the study community, in which farmlands were the main means to produce agricultural crops. To gather data
