- W pracy oceniano czynniki promujące praktyki agroleśnicze wśród rolników małorolnych w rezerwacie leśnym Shasha w stanie Osun. Zastosowano procedurę celowego doboru próby, aby wybrać cztery sąsiadujące społeczności w obrębie Shasha. Próby były zbliżonej wartości. Do zebrania danych od 99 respondentów wykorzystano starannie skonstruowany kwestionariusz. Badanie dotyczyło czynników wpływających na praktyki agroleśnicze wśród rolników małorolnych na badanym obszarze oraz na ich korzyściach i ograniczeniach. Do analizy danych wykorzystano statystykę zarówno opisową, jak i inferencyjną. Badanie wykazało, że około 50,5% respondentów uznało ulepszony odłóg za czynnik wpływający na przyjęcie agroleśnictwa, 54,5% respondentów odpowiedziało, że do tych czynników warunkujących praktyki agroleśnicze należą ograniczona ilość żyznej ziemi, odporność upraw (60,6%), prawo własności ziemi/brak zgody właścicieli gruntów na umowę dzierżawy (61,6%), niskie dochody/ finansowe (63,6%) i wynagrodzenie z leśnego zbioru wielofunkcyjnych gatunków drzew (65,7%). Wśród korzyści płynących z praktyk agroleśniczych można wymienić zwiększenie żyzności gleby (98,0%), redukcję jej erozji (95,9%), uzyskiwanie ziół do leczenia w medycynie alternatywnej (86,0%), produkcję drewna opałowego do użytku domowego i przemysłowego (91,0%), a także redukcję szkodników i chorób (82,0%). Zastosowanie praktyk agroleśniczych były ograniczone wysokimi kosztami zarządzania (77,9%) i brakiem informacji na temat integracji drzew i upraw (59,5%). W badaniach zaleca się, aby w celu zwiększenia wykorzystania praktyk rolno-leśnych przeprowadzać szkolenia dla rolników małorolnych i budować świadomość na temat najnowszych praktyk rolno-leśnych, aby zainteresowano się nimi na terenie rezerwatu Shasha(abstrakt oryginalny)
This study assessed factors promoting agroforestry practices among rural smallholder farmers in the Shasha Forest Reserve of Osun State. A purposive sampling procedure was used to select four (4) adjoining communities within the Shasha Forest Reserve and the sample size. A well-structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from 99 respondents. This study focussed on the factors influencing agroforestry practices among smallholder farmers in the study area, the benefits derived from agroforestry practices, and the constraints to adopting agroforestry practices in the study area. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied for data analysis in the study. The study found that about 50.5% of respondents were involved in improved fallow practice as an influencing factor in adopting agroforestry, 54.5% revealed limited fertile land, crop resilience (60.6%), land tenure/landowner disagreement of the lease contract (61.6%), low income/ financial challenges (63.6%), and early reward from the forest-based collection of multipurpose tree species (65.7%). The benefits derived from agroforestry practices were set up as a source of increasing soil fertility (98.0%), enhancement of erosion reduction (95.9%), generation of herbs for treatment in alternative medicine (86.0%), fuelwood for domestic and industrial use (91.0%), and reduction of pests and diseases (82.0%). However, agroforestry practices in the study area were impeded due to constraints such as the high cost of management (77.9%) and the dearth of information on tree/crop cultivation integration (59.5%). The study recommends training Shasha Forest Reserve smallholder farmers and creating awareness on the latest agroforestry practices to arouse their interest and enhance the adoption of agroforestry practices.(original abstract) - Pełny tekst
