Abstract:

Agroforestry is being regarded as an effective, low-cost means of minimizing the
degradation of cultivated land and of maintaining or even increasing the productive capacity of
agricultural ecosystems.
Aim of the Study: This study aimed to develop an inventory of agroforestry practices and
constraints among small-scale farmers in Butta sub-county, Manafwa district in Uganda.
Methodology: The study was conducted with the heads of household selected using a combination
of multistage stratified random sampling and systematic random sampling. The study population of
this research involved two categories of respondents that are the household and extension officers
from the sub-county. The quantitative data collected from the household heads were analyzed using
Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 and Microsoft office excel 2013.
Descriptive analysis was conducted to estimate frequencies and percentages of the responses.
Friedman test was conducted to identify the most critical constraints associated with agroforestry
adoption.
