Fruit tree–based agroforestry has been promoted as an alternative farming practice in upland Northwest Vietnam to replace monocultures of staple crops. Although many studies have focused on evaluating the performance of agroforestry systems at the plot level, research on how farmers perceive and evaluate agroforestry considering whole-farm contexts...
Fruit tree-based agroforestry has been promoted as an alternative farming practice in upland Northwest Vietnam, which may replace erosion-prone staple crop monocultures. Although many studies have focused on evaluating the performance of agroforestry systems at the plot level, there has been little research on how farmers perceive and evaluate agro...
Temperate fruit trees are widely cultivated across the world's temperate regions. These trees are well-adapted to cold-winter climates through their ability to synchronize their phenology with the seasons. In autumn, they enter a dormant state, which allows them to survive the low winter temperatures and lasts until they resume growth in early spri...
Intervening into agricultural systems necessarily includes risks, uncertainties, and ultimately unknown outcomes. Decision analysis embraces uncertainty through an interdisciplinary approach that involves relevant stakeholders in evaluating complex decisions. We applied decision analysis approaches to prioritize 21 farm management interventions, wh...
Global warming has modified the phenology of deciduous species. Temperature during the dormancy phase modulates the timing of bloom in temperate trees. Chill and heat requirements represent the climatic needs of trees during dormancy. Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression allows delineating chilling and forcing phases, which in turn allows estimat...
Agroforestry interventions have the potential to benefit the livelihoods of farmers and communities worldwide. However, given the high system complexity, the long-term benefits of agroforestry are difficult to anticipate. This study aimed to integrate uncertainty into long-term performance projections for agroforestry interventions in the highlands...
Agroforestry may benefit many farmers of Northwest Vietnam, but it is often difficult to anticipate which of many possible options promises the greatest returns on investment. We applied holistic modelling approaches to provide ex-ante assessments of Net Present Values for seven agroforestry interventions promoted by the World Agroforestry Centre i...
The mountainous northwest of Vietnam, bordering Lao PDR and China, is home for the majority of the country's ethnic minorities. Both poverty and food insecurity are common in the region. Slash-and-burn maize, rice and cassava monocultures have been the main source of local livelihoods for decades. However, increasing population and land scarcity ha...
