Enhancing gender equality in agroforestry systems
摘要
Agroforestry is practised by almost a third of rural smallholders (Miller et al., 2017) on 43% of the world’s agricultural lands (Zomer et al., 2014). Agroforestry systems can take many forms, ranging from agrisilvicultural (trees combined with crops) to silvopastoral (trees combined with pastures or animals) and agrosilvopastoral systems (trees combined with animals and crops) (Nair et al., 2021). Agroforestry systems contribute to provisioning food and nutrition, medicine, and income to rural households and play critical cultural roles and regulatory functions (e.g. water regulation, soil fertility, biodiversity conservation, pollination) around the world (ibid.). As such, agroforestry is central to the resilience of rural people and landscapes globally.
