Sustainable Agroforestry Adoption in a Small-Scale Food Production System: the Case of Yam in Rotation with the Intercropping Gliricidia Sepium and Herbaceous in the Guinea-Sudan Zone of Benin

- West Africa is now confronted with a land scarcity and slash-and-burn shifting cultivation systems come to their limits. With the aim of designing more sustainable yam cropping systems, the agronomic research is promoting alternative agroforestry yam-based systems. Alley cropping was implemented in several research structures and was transferred in rural areas. The most important constraints of alley cropping adoption are its pruning workload as well as competition between shrubs and crops for nutrients and light. It is well-known today that smallholders deeply readjust technologies developed in close relationship with researchers when confronted with various constraints. Farmers have been adjusting the alternative systems with alley cropping to their own constraints. This paper investigates adoption, constraints, and adaptations of mixed inter-cropping an agroforestry tree species, Gliricidia sepium-herbaceous in the Guinea-Sudan zone of Benin. The differences between adopters and non-adopters of yam-based agroforestry systems with Gliricidia in terms of their age, education, gender, Households' size, active members of the family, farm income, land tenure, extension contact, training, credit, belong to organisation and other socioeconomic and agro-ecological variables are examined. Results from logistic regression analysis suggest that extension contact, credit and population density in zone are important variables in determining the adoption of new yam-based agroforestry systems. It was observed that farmers adapted technologies to suit their situation
