Abstract

The coffee production system has changed the notion of a forest common resources pool in southwest Ethiopia. It is weakening the customary right on forest through time. The objective of the study was to explore forest resources use in relation to coffee management intensity in southwest Ethiopia. The effect of coffee management intensification was narrated based on the nature of accessing forest resources, local control system, level of forest dependency, and nontimber forest products usage through time. Qualitative data were collected through an interview and walk-in-the-woods. It is worth mentioning that an age-old customary right is devolved, and a modified forest management arrangement is emerging along with the coffee production system. The result showed that coffee agroforest drives the use of forest resources in southwest Ethiopia. Coffee production is replacing the tradition of forest management for nontimber forest products. Collection of nontimber forest products is overwhelmed with coffee harvesting. Honey production area (i.e., Luggoo) has been changed to coffee plot. Only coffee owners hold the right to access coffee agroforest. Individual decisions are bypassing the social arrangement of forest resources usage. The nature and level of forest dependency have been changed along with the intensification of coffee management. In contrary to what most people believe, the study findings showed that better-off households are more forest dependent compared to poor households due to coffee production. The storyline depicts the need for taking into account coffee agroforest in sustainable forest management. The study suggests to revisit the notion of recognizing traditional forest resource usage brings sustainable forest management.
咖啡经营集约化改变了埃塞俄比亚西南部咖啡森林利用的传统
咖啡生产系统改变了埃塞俄比亚西南部森林共同资源池的概念。随着时间的推移,它正在削弱人们对森林的习惯权利。这项研究的目的是探讨埃塞俄比亚西南部森林资源利用与咖啡经营强度的关系。从森林资源的获取性质、地方控制制度、森林依赖程度和非木材林产品的利用等方面叙述了咖啡经营集约化的效果。定性数据通过访谈和走进森林收集。值得一提的是,一项古老的习惯权利被移交,一项经过修改的森林管理安排正在与咖啡生产系统一起出现。结果表明,咖啡混农林驱动了埃塞俄比亚西南部森林资源的利用。咖啡生产正在取代传统的非木材林产品的森林管理。非木材林产品的收集被咖啡收获淹没了。蜂蜜产区(如Luggoo)已改为咖啡地块。只有咖啡主人才有权进入咖啡农林。个人的决定绕过了森林资源利用的社会安排。随着咖啡经营的加强,森林依赖的性质和程度发生了变化。与大多数人的看法相反,研究结果表明,由于咖啡生产,富裕家庭比贫困家庭更依赖森林。故事情节描述了在可持续森林管理中考虑咖啡农林业的必要性。该研究建议重新考虑认识到传统森林资源利用带来可持续森林管理的概念。
