📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本ではアグロフォレストリーはあまり一般的ではないが、気候変動適応策としての農地管理や生態系サービスの視点は、日本の農業政策や生物多様性保全に参考となる。

In the global GX context

While agroforestry is less common in Japan, the study's focus on adoption factors and climate-smart agriculture offers insights for global south contexts. It contributes to understanding behavioral drivers in agricultural GX, relevant for international development and climate adaptation.

📄 Abstract（原文）

Agroforestry is recognized as a significant element in climate-smart agriculture due to its high potential for addressing food insecurity, climate change challenges, and ecosystem management. However, despite the potential benefits of agroforestry practices, the adoption by rural households in Sub-Saharan Africa is low. Adopting agroforestry practices requires understanding rural households' socio-economic and socio-psychological factors. Hence, this study empirically examined the role of knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions in the uptake of agroforestry practices among rural households to better understand the adoption process. A sample of 305 households was obtained from three communities, namely, Swayimane, Umbumbulu, and Richmond, in KwaZulu-Natal province. Principal component analysis and a binary logistic regression model were employed to analyze the data. Knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions towards agroforestry were found to positively influence the adoption of agroforestry practices. The results also revealed that age, farming experience, education level, and land size were determinants of agroforestry adoption. Therefore, the study recommends that policymakers, extension officers, and climate change champions consider rural households' socio-economic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions when designing agroforestry projects. Implementing training programs with practical demonstration is also recommended to increase awareness of the benefits of agroforestry practices and encourage rural households to protect on-farm trees and shrubs.
