NotesThe 2 World Congress of Agroforestry Nairobi, 24-28 August 2009
Abstract:
Price of agricultural commodities commonly influence farmers preference and decision making on the way they manage their agroforest and/or decide to replace it other land use systems. Increased price of a specific commodity will increase farmers motivation to intensify its role in their mixed agroforest garden, and potentially move towards a monocultural system. In comparison to agroforests, monocultural system may provide higher benefit for the farmer, as long as the price of the main crop is stable or increasing. But, when the price of the main product decreases, an agroforestry garden will provide more income security than the monoculture system due the more diverse products from agroforestry than monoculture system.
