“…According to the participants, enset-based home garden agroforestry is responsible for the landscape’s long-term resilience capacity, particularly in relation to the impact of drought. Enset is a perennial keystone crop in the home garden system that provides essential food for humans as well as feed for livestock (Sahle et al 2018 , 2021b ). The Gurage socio-ecological landscape area has not been particularly affected by famine, even in the 1980s when large parts of Ethiopia were affected due to the country’s vulnerability to extreme weather events (Brandt et al 1997 ; Harrison et al 2014 ; Borrell et al 2019 ).…”

“…The Gurage Zone has a population of 1,279,646 (622,078 men and 657,568 women) based on the 2007 census conducted by the CSA, with the vast majority of the population (92.4%) living in rural areas and engaging in agricultural production (CSA 2009 ). Settled agriculture has occurred in the area for at least a millennium (Tadesse 2009 ), with many Gurage settlements emerging around the cultivation of enset, a starchy root and tuber crop (also known as the false banana), which is a staple food among the Gurage people (Sahle et al 2018 , 2021b ). The landscape communities adopted an enset-based home garden agroforestry system, similar to other regions in the south, south-central, and southwestern Ethiopia (Sahle et al 2022 ) (Fig.…”

“…Agroforestry practices provide multiple benefits including high productivity and additional income while maintaining the soil health (Kang et al,1984;Kang and Akinnifesi, 2000;Sarvade et al, 2016;Sarvade et al, 2019) and instrumental for rehabilitation of degraded land (Jinger et al, 2023;Tomar et al, 2021). Agroforestry provides a greater range of environmental benefits than traditional kinds of annual crop cultivation, alongwith, improves soil fertility which increases vegetable yields, extends the harvesting season and improves the quality of produce (Sahle et al, 2021;Torralba et al, 2016). Benefit: cost ratio of various agroforestry systems was also studied by researchers and claimed that agroforestry system are capable for supporting the farmers economically (Bhatia et al, 2022;Sharma et al, 2022;Kaler et al, 2017).…”
