Technical functions Main Soil fertility enhancement Crop diversity averts risk of failure Year round production Food security
Various fruit trees species and woody biomass grown together, Gedeo (Photo 2010)
Cordia (Wanza) is the main woody tree species grown in the agaroforestry systems of altitudes ranging from 1700-2000 masl (Photo 2010)
Secondary Soil moisture conservation Increase income Agrobiodiversity Crop failure risk aversion Resilience to climate change
Major land use problems in the technology area are shortage of land, population pressure, declining agricultural production.
