| Résumé : |
Agroforestry - the combination of trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock on the same land management unit - can provide economic and ecological synergies for sustainable land management and smallholders resilience. In Tunisia, In the Tunisian context, heavily reliant on olives, examples from Zaghouan indicate that agroforestry can improve management of resources, enhance soil health and climate adaptation.
This study aims to investigate the policy and governance factors shaping agroforestry adoption in Zaghouan through a mixed-methods approach including policy review, stakeholder mapping, and interviews with government officials, farmers, and NGOs. Findings show that agroforestry adoption is limited by fragmented policies, weak economic incentives, land tenure insecurity, and limited involvement of local institutions in decision making. Governance remains centralized with government agencies like DGF and CRDA holding major influence but minimal direct engagement with farmers, financial institutions and NGOs. Despite the recognition of agroforestry's environmental and economic value, barriers such as unclear legal definitions, insufficient financial support, and poor institutional collaboration persist. Expanding agroforestry in Tunisia requires a coherent policy framework, aligned with local realities, greater involvement of farmer organizations and local stakeholders, and stronger property rights security. A participatory and adaptive governance approach is essential to realize its potential sustainable agricultural systems in semi-arid regions of Tunisia |
