项目摘要

Agricultures addition into forests (agroforestry) has widespread praise for improving farmer's climate change (CC) resiliency. However, in some Tanzanian agroforests CC implications are visually evident, meaning potential repercussions for food security and ecosystem services, mainly soil conservation. Accurate data of forest cover and soil components under CC are missing, therefore, impacts on food security and dependant livelihoods are unclear. This, coupled with little known barriers to adaptation, restricts capabilities to develop necessary responses. Thus, understanding CC impacts on agroforestry livelihoods and food security is vital to ensure adaptive measures are devisable, and achieve adaptive capacity, food security and livelihood sustainability. This interdisciplinary project investigates whether Tanzanian agroforests appropriately support farming livelihoods, food security and adaptive capacities under CC, using Rural Moshi as a case study. This involves: 1) exploring CC impacts on agroforestry livelihoods, 2) CC effects on soil fertility and crop productivity and 3) examining how farmers adapt. Hypothetically, CC will worsen food insecurities due to diminishing agroforests, which reduce soil fertility. Using the sustainable livelihoods and food security four pillars theoretical frameworks, the fieldwork will include interdisciplinary research. 90 farmers will be interviewed using selective and chain sampling, allowing for agroforesters vs non-agroforesters cross-comparisons. Qualitative and quantitative methods are necessary, using collection instruments involving: interviews, crop yield assessments, soil sampling and secondary data analysis. Where required, interview coding, statistical analysis and mapping analytical tools will be applied. Project outcomes could impact Tanzanian, agricultural and food-secure organisation's CC policy, and advance forestry CC adaptation knowledge, allowing for future research.

增加森林的农业（农林线）因改善农民的气候变化（CC）弹性而广泛赞扬。但是，在某些坦桑尼亚农林店中，CC在视觉上具有明显的影响，这意味着对粮食安全和生态系统服务的潜在影响，主要是土壤保护。缺少CC下森林覆盖物和土壤成分的准确数据，因此对粮食安全和依赖生计的影响尚不清楚。加上鲜为人知的适应障碍，限制了发展必要反应的能力。因此，了解CC对农林业的影响和粮食安全对于确保适应性措施的恶化和实现适应能力，粮食安全和生计可持续性至关重要。该跨学科项目调查了坦桑尼亚农林庄园是否适当地支持CC下的农业生计，粮食安全和适应能力，并使用Moshi农村作为案例研究。这涉及：1）探索CC对农林业生命的影响，2）CC对土壤生育能力和作物生产率的影响以及3）研究农民如何适应。假设，CC由于农业山地降低而导致的粮食不安全，从而降低了土壤的生育能力。使用可持续的生计和粮食安全四个支柱理论框架，该野外工作将包括跨学科研究。 90名农民将使用选择性和链条采样，允许农业森林捕食者与非格里弗里森特人的跨案例。使用涉及的收集工具：访谈，作物产量评估，土壤采样和二次数据分析，必须采用定性和定量方法。如果需要，将应用访谈编码，统计分析和映射分析工具。项目成果可能会影响坦桑尼亚，农业和食品安全组织的CC政策，并提高林业CC适应知识，从而实现未来的研究。
