Local tree knowledge can fast-track agroforestry recommendations for coffee smallholders along a climate gradient in Mount Elgon, Uganda

Abstract: Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) is economically important for many smallholder farmers in the Mount Elgon region of East Uganda, but its production is increasingly threatened by climate change. However, ecosystem services (ES) provided by companion trees in coffee agroforestry systems (AFS) can help farmers adapt to climate change. The objectives of this research were to develop agroforestry species recommendations and tailor these to the farmers' needs and local context, taking into consideration gender. Loca… Show more

“…To identify if gender, affiliation to a farmers' group, or elevation influenced perceived provision of ESs by shade tree species, we split the data sets by gender, membership of the HRNS, and into two elevation groups (threshold was the median 1336 m asl). We ran the BradleyTerry analysis for these subgroups of respondents and compared the resulting scores [15,16].…”
