Agrarian Changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia
7 Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia Davison J Gumbo, Kondwani Y Mumba, Moka M Kaliwile, Kaala B Moombe and Tiza I Mfuni Summary Over the past decade issues pertaining to land sharing/land sparing have gained some space in the debate on the study of land-use strategies and their associated impacts at landscape level. State and non-state actors have, through their interests and actions, triggered changes at the landscape level and this report is a synthesis of some of the main findings and contributions of a scoping study carried out in Zambia as part of CIFOR’s Agrarian Change Project. It focuses on findings in three villages located in the Nyimba District. The villages are located on a high (Chipembe) to low (Muzenje) agricultural land-use gradient. Nyimba District, which is located in the country’s agriculturally productive Eastern Province, was selected through a two-stage process, which also considered another district, Mpika, located in Zambia’s Muchinga Province. The aim was to find a landscape in Zambia that would provide much needed insights into how globally conceived land-use strategies (e.g. land-sharing/land-sparing trajectories) manifest locally, and how they interact with other change processes once they are embedded in local histories, culture, and political and market dynamics. Nyimba District, with its history of concentrated and rigorous policy support in terms of agricultural intensification over different epochs, presents Zambian smallholder farmers as victims and benefactors of policy pronouncements. This chapter shows Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia • 235 the impact of such policies on the use of forests and other lands, with agriculture at the epicenter. -

(Livelihoods) Authors: Saviour Chishimba (Lead Author) Monica Chundama Akakandelwa Akakandelwa Citation: Chishimba, S., Chundama, M. & Akakandelwa, A. (2013). The Opportunity Costs of REDD+ in Zambia. The views expressed in this document are not of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, but of the consulting firm. The Opportunity Costs of REDD+ in Zambia FINAL REPORT Saviour Chishimba (Lead Author) Monica Chundama Akakandelwa Akakandelwa 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The directors and staff of Even Ha’Ezer Consult Limited are indebted to Mr. Deuteronomy Kasaro and Mrs Maurine Mwale of the Forestry Department and Dr. Julian Fox and Ms. Celestina Lwatula of the UN-REDD Programme at FAO for providing the necessary logistical support, without which, the assignment would not have been completed. Saviour Chishimba Chief Executive Officer Even Ha’Ezer Consult Limited EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Preserving forests entails foregoing the benefits that would have been generated by alternative deforesting and forest degrading land uses (for example agriculture, charcoal burning, etc). The difference between the benefits provided by the forest and those that would have been provided by the alternative land use is the opportunity cost of avoiding deforestation and forest degradation. Foregoing the economic benefits that come with deforestation and forest degradation will only make sense to policy makers and the general population if alternatives that are advanced under REDD+ offer sufficient sustainable benefits.
