Feeding a growing population without deforestation: agroforestry system partnerships and mechanisms

Feeding a growing population without deforestation: agroforestry system partnerships and mechanisms The study aims to analyze the agroforestry system and its eco-efficiency, mainly from regulatory mechanisms and partnerships. We chose the stakeholder theory lenses to analyze the complex scenario of the relationship among different social actors. The contexts of Brazilian and Bulgaria agroforestry systems have been selected for our case study research. Twenty-four agroforestry experts/farmers working across 24 organizations and operating in Brazil and Bulgaria have been interviewed through semi-structured interviews. As a result, a comprehensive framework was created, which illustrates the key findings from the research divided into five directions: (i) key social actors in the agroforestry system, (ii) types of partnerships and cooperation between social actors; (iii) regulatory mechanisms for the agroforestry system, (iv) challenges of working with the agroforestry system, and (v) recommendations for future agroforestry entrepreneurs. Our comprehensive framework and findings will further support agroforestry farmers and policymakers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Agroforestry Systems Springer Journals

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the agroforestry system and its eco-efficiency, mainly from regulatory mechanisms and partnerships. We chose the stakeholder theory lenses to analyze the complex scenario of the relationship among different social actors. The contexts of Brazilian and Bulgaria agroforestry systems have been selected for our case study research. Twenty-four agroforestry experts/farmers working across 24 organizations and operating in Brazil and Bulgaria have been interviewed through semi-structured interviews. As a result, a comprehensive framework was created, which illustrates the key findings from the research divided into five directions: (i) key social actors in the agroforestry system, (ii) types of partnerships and cooperation between social actors; (iii) regulatory mechanisms for the agroforestry system, (iv) challenges of working with the agroforestry system, and (v) recommendations for future agroforestry entrepreneurs. Our comprehensive framework and findings will further support agroforestry farmers and policymakers.
