We assessed the potentials of local agroforestry practices (AFPs) for enabling FNS for smallholders in the Yayu Biosphere Reserve (southwestern Ethiopia). Data was collected from 300 households in a stratified random sampling scheme through semi-structured interviews and farm inventory. Utility, edibility, and marketability value were the key parameters used to determine the potential of plants in the AFPs. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and correlation analysis were employed to determine the form, variation, and association of local AFP attributes. Homegarden, multistorey-coffee-system, and multipurpose-trees-on-farmlands are the predominant AFPs in Yayu. Multipurpose-trees-on-farmlands are used mainly for food production, multistorey-coffee-system for income-generation, and homegarden for both. The 127 useful plant species identified represent 10 major plant utility groups, with seven (food, fodder, fuel, coffee-shade, timber, non-timber-forest-products, and medicinal uses) found in all three AFPs. In total, 80 edible species were identified across all AFPs, with 55 being primarily cultivated for household food supply. Generally, household income emanates from four major sources, multistorey-coffee-system (60%), homegarden (18%), multipurpose-trees-on-farmlands (13%), and off-farm activities (11%). Given this variation in form, purpose, and extracted benefits, existing AFPs in Yayu support the FNS of smallholders in multiple ways. Keywords: food and non-food benefit; homegarden; multipurpose tree on farmland; multistorey coffee system; multi-functionality; traditional agroforestry; Yayu Biosphere Reserve 1. Introduction In the last four decades, agroforestry has been promoted as an option to address poverty and food insecurity, as well as to enhance the adaptability of small-scale farmers to social-ecological hazards [1–5]. For the former, its potential relies on its contribution to the strengthening of the five pillars of food and nutrition security (FNS): availability, access, utilization, stability, and sovereignty (Figure1). Examples in local contexts are: (i) the presence of perennial staple food species in the system, like Ensete ventricosum, Musa spp., Moringa stenopetala, or Manihot esculenta, which ensure the availability of food [6–9]; (ii) the presence of species that secure cash to farming households, which directly enhance their access to market-based foods, as is the case of Coffea arabica or Theobroma cacao [10,11]; (iii) the utilization of dimension often enhanced via a diversity of species that offer scarce Sustainability 2018, 10, 2722; doi:10.3390/su10082722 www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability SustainabilitySustainability 20182018, ,1010, ,x 2722 FOR PEER REVIEW 22 of of 21 21 nutrients, e.g., fruit, leaves, or nuts, as well as the availability of fuel for cooking [11,12]; (iv) an increasenutrients, in e.g., the fruit, resilience leaves, to or nuts,and asreduction well as thein availabilityhousehold ofsocial-ecological fuel for cooking [vulnerability,11,12]; (iv) an increaseby the diversityin the resilience of constituting to and species reduction and intheir household interactio social-ecologicalns [5,10,11]; and (v) vulnerability, providing options by the and diversity choices of inconstituting the means speciesto grow and and/or their purchase interactions foods [5,10 items,11]; andaccording (v) providing to the household’s options and needs choices in in all the seasons means [9,13,14].to grow and/or purchase foods items according to the household’s needs in all seasons [9,13,14].

  • The Role of Indigenous Healing Practices in Environmental Protection Among the Maccaa Oromo of Ilu Abbaa Bora and Jimma Zones, Ethiopia
    Available online at www.sserr.ro Social Sciences and Education Research Review (4) 1 30-53 (2017) ISSN 2393–1264 ISSN–L 2392–9863 THE ROLE OF INDIGENOUS HEALING PRACTICES IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AMONG THE MACCAA OROMO OF ILU ABBAA BORA AND JIMMA ZONES, ETHIOPIA Milkessa Edae TUFA1 , Fesseha Mulu GEBREMARIAM2 1Department of Oromo Folklore and Literature, Jimma University, Ethiopia E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Governance and Development Studies, Jimma University, Ethiopia E-mails: [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract This article mainly attempted to explore the role of utilizing indigenous medicines in environmental protection among the Maccaa Oromo of Jimma and Iluu Abba bora zone, south-western Ethiopia. To this end, 4 separate interviews with 4 interviewees, 2 focus group discussions with 17 participants, and non- participant field observation were conducted to generate significant and reliable data. Besides, the researchers employed secondary data to make the study more significant and complete. The findings of the study show that since the source of medicines is the environment, the community protects their environment unless the society wouldn’t accessed the natural medicines they need. The study also reveals that most of these folk medicines used by the Maccaa Oromos are from 30 plants. This further indicates the society protects the natural environment to get the plants they use for medication. Thus, folk healing practices are crucial on the one hand to treat illnesses, and to protect the ecosystem on the other hand. However, these societal knowledge is undermined as well as they are being replaced by western (scientific) knowledge, modern medicines.

  • 1 the Microeconomics of Household Collection of Wild
    The Microeconomics of Household Collection of Wild Coffee in Ethiopia: Some Policy Implications for In-situ Conservation of Coffea arabica Genetic Diversity1 Degnet Abebaw2 and Detlef Virchow3 Abstract World-wide cultivated arabica coffee is a native plant to Ethiopian highlands. Its wild populations can still be found in the fragmented montane rainforests of the country. To halt degradation and loss of the forest coffee genetic resources, the Ethiopian Government has established in-situ conservation areas in the south and southwestern montane rain forest regions of the country. However, there are several thousands of people who have been and still are dependent on the wild coffee populations from these forests for direct consumption and/or market sales. Thus, policy makers need to consider the needs and economic options of the local people in the periphery, so as to create a win-win relationship between conservation and local agricultural development. This paper substantiates the interface between the forest coffee genetic resources and the local agriculture by exploring the economic importance to farm families of wild coffee from the Geba-Dogi forest coffee conservation area, Southwest Ethiopia. A random sample of 121 farm families was used in this empirical study. Descripitive results demonstrate the very different resource use behavior of the population and the diversity of the (local) people living in the periphery in terms of socioeconomic interests, skills, culture, demographic history, resource use behavior and wealth. Probit regression indicates that household collection of wild coffee from the protected site is positively and significantly associated with family size, ownership of adjacent farm plot, and male- headship of the household.

  • The Potential for Income Improvement and Biodiversity Conservation Via Specialty Coffee in Ethiopia
    The potential for income improvement and biodiversity conservation via specialty coffee in Ethiopia Pascale Schuit1,*, Justin Moat2, Tadesse Woldemariam Gole3, Zeleke Kebebew Challa4, Jeremy Torz1, Steven Macatonia1, Graciano Cruz5 and Aaron P.

ABSTRACT The specialty coffee sector represents opportunities for coffee farmers and other actors due to increased value within the supply chain, driven by elevated consumer purchase prices. We investigated these relationships up to the export stage, as well as the potential for specialty coffee to improve stakeholder participation in biodiversity conservation. Household data was collected from a sample of 272 coffee farmers belonging to five primary cooperatives, in the heavily forested area of Yayu, in the Illubabor administrative zone of Oromia regional state in south-western Ethiopia, for the 2017/2018 harvest season. Qualitative and quantitative data, gathered between 2015 and 2019, from focus group discussions, was used to supplement the survey and to explain the empirical findings. We show that the income from coffee (and thus household income) can be increased, in some cases substantially, via participation in the specialty coffee market. The unit price for coffee was much higher than standard market prices and those including certification premiums. Whilst quality is a key Submitted 31 July 2020 factor for specialty coffee, income increases via the specialty market are caveat bound.
