1.4 SLM技术问卷的参考
2. SLM方法的描述
2.1 该方法的简要说明
Promoting the values of different trees and their benefits in agroforestry contributes to increased adoption by farmers.
2.2 该方法的详细说明
该方法的详细说明:
Agroforestry involves the integration of trees and/ or shrubs in a farming system on the same land where crops or pastures are grown. It offers significant environmental, economic, and social benefits. Agroforestry also enables farmers to diversify their on-farm income. Furthermore, it contributes to climate change adaptation and mitigation and improves the environment within the farm, especially soils. However, not every farmer is willing to adopt agroforestry. Trees and shrubs take up space that would have been dedicated to crops or pasture: this is a primary reason why farmers are not willing to plant trees and/ or shrubs on their farms. Similarly, many farmers do not clearly understand the values of some trees and shrubs. It is, therefore, essential to overcome the barriers to adopting agroforestry among farmers.
The ProSoil project has created awareness among farmers in Kakamega, Bungoma, and Siaya Counties about the more efficient and profitable tree and shrub-based value chains to attract farmers to agroforestry and pave the way for greater uptake. The farmers were targeted through their groups. Each group consisting of about 25 farmers, and with at least 30% women. Farmers are introduced to trees and/ or shrubs that blend well with their farming system. In addition, farmers choose trees and/ or shrubs based on the sizes of their farming land and their respective benefits. Farmers can plant trees and shrubs as single stands or integrate them into farming land. They can also plant agroforestry trees around their homesteads. A single stand can have, for example, mangos, avocados, and/or other trees. The project advocates for a more sustainable win-win approach where farmers and the environment benefit from an agroforestry system. Some of the benefits of trees and shrubs, as highlighted by the project, include the following:
a) Soil erosion control: trees and shrubs are planted on across slopes to slow down runoff and trap sediment (consequently, accumulating soil – this can form terraces after several years). Their roots hold the soil in place and reduce the impact of moving water.
b) Stabilising stream banks and gullies (e.g., Leucaena leucocephala, Sesbania grandiflora, Moringa oleifera, etc.): help to reduce soil erosion along streams and gullies when planted at the medium- to high-level watermark. Their roots hold the soil in place and reduce the impact of moving water.
c) Green manure (e.g., Sesbania sesban, Tithonia sp., etc.): from foliage and twigs.
d) Live fences (e.g., Tithonia sp.): used as boundaries to provide privacy and protection from browsing animals.
e) Windbreakers (e.g., Casuarina equisetifolia, Grevillea robusta, Leucaena leucocephala, etc.): planted in one or two rows/ lines closely together along the edges of the farm and perpendicular to winds to protect crops, soils, and structures from the detrimental effects of wind.
f) Fodder (e.g., Grevillea robusta, Sesbania sesban, Leucaena leucocephala, etc.): foliage is food for livestock.
g) Food (e.g., mangoes, avocadoes, etc.): a human food source.
h) Carbon sequestration (all trees and shrubs): they act as carbon sinks by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

注明开始年份:
2019
2.7 方法的类型
- Both traditional practice and project based: farmers have been growing trees and shrubs on their farms but the ProSoil project introduced them to more beneficial trees and better ways of producing the trees e.g., through grafting.
2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标
Aim: To promote the adoption of agroforestry.
Objectives:
1) To introduce farmers to the diverse benefits of trees in farming.
2) To encourage farmers to incorporate trees and/ or shrubs in their farming.
2.9 推动或妨碍实施本办法所适用的技术的条件
社会/文化/宗教规范和价值观
- 启动
Trees play a central role in the socio-cultural lives of people and are used for a wide range of cultural practices.
- 阻碍
Cultural beliefs: e.g., women are not supposed to plant (some) trees as this is considered a male role. This hinders women from full participation in agroforestry activities.
财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性
- 阻碍
Some farmers do not have adequate financial resources to purchase seedling of some tree and shrub seedlings.
参与者的的协作/协调
- 启动
Other institutions such as the county governments pass agroforestry information to farmers through the public agricultural extension officers. County governments are important collaborators in the ProSoil project.
法律框架(土地使用权、土地和水使用权)
- 阻碍
Trees and/ or shrubs take several years to mature. This is closely linked to land tenure since most people would prefer to establish trees only on their farms.
政策
- 启动
Kenya's 10 Percent Tree Cover Strategy includes the component of promoting farm forestry through various platforms e.g., radio and TV.
土地治理(决策、实施和执行)
- 阻碍
Women and youth have little or no control over land in most communities. Hence, they cannot make decisions to plant (some) trees on the family land.
了解SLM,获得技术支持
- 启动
ProSoil project has supported the dissemination of information about the importance of agroforestry as an SLM technology and how to propagate trees e.g., through grafting. As a result, some farmers have established trees nurseries.
市场(购买投入,销售产品)和价格
- 启动
The increasing awareness about the benefits of many trees has led to an increase in the demand for the different products from the trees e.g., fruits, honey, medicines, etc. This potential of trees to generate income encourages farmers to plant trees.

该方法是否缓解了冲突?:
- 否
- 是,很少
- 是,中等
- 是,支持力度很大
Planting of quick growing shrubs has provided source of fuel wood at the household level reducing conflicts resulting in neighbouring farmers invading farms for fuel wood
该方法是否改善了粮食安全/改善了营养?:
- 否

- 否
- 是,很少
- 是,中等
- 是,支持力度很大
Some of the trees are sources of food during months when there is scarcity of food e.g., mangoes mature mostly during the dry season when there is scarcity of food in the households.
该方法是否会带来就业、收入机会?:
- 否
- 是,很少
- 是,中等
- 是,支持力度很大
Some farmers have established tree nurseries. They sell tree seedlings to earn income. Some have employed tree nursery operators.
6.2 土地使用者实施SLM的主要动机
- 增加生产
Some of the trees and shrubs promoted e.g., sesbania improve soil through nitrogen fixation. Hence, they increase soil productivity and consequently crop and livestock production.
- 增加利润(能力),提高成本效益比
Most trees do not require costly implementation activities, yet they have multiple uses at the farm, including sources of products e.g., fruits that can be sold to earn income. This increased the profitability of the farm. This reduces the costs incurred at the farm against the benefits accrued.
- 减少土地退化
Trees reduce soil erosion and formation of gullies. They also add nutrients to the soil.
- 降低灾害风险
Trees reduce the flow of runoff and increase the infiltration of water into the soil. Such water would have otherwise caused flooding downstream. they also act as windbreakers reducing damage on farms.
- 环境意识
Farmers understand the importance of trees in environmental management. They have planted trees - trees conserve the environment.
- 提高SLM知识和技能
Farmers have enhanced their knowledge in agroforestry, including tree nursery management. They also capacity build other farmers.
- 美学改进
Farmers have planted trees that have beautified their homes and farms.
6.3 方法活动的可持续性
土地使用者能否维持通过该方法实施的措施(无外部支持的情况下)?:
- 是
若是,请说明如何维持:
