Abstract

Promoting the emergence of agroforestry in Côte d'Ivoire has become a national priority. The country's agricultural sector generates 70% of export income, employs two-thirds of the working population and contributes one-third of GDP. However, this remarkable economic performance is based on cash crop farming, which has developed at the expense of natural forests, resulting in one of the most alarming deforestation rates in the world. To address this situation, the Ivorian government is promoting agroforestry as a solution, particularly in the cocoa sector. However, a detailed analysis of the origin of the trees present in cropfields suggests that agroforestry in Côte d'Ivoire can be divided into two categories: reforestation agroforestry, which restores forest cover by gradually associating trees with cocoa trees, and deforestation agroforestry, which degrades and impoverishes forest cover by converting natural forests into agroforestry systems. It is crucial to distinguish between these two forms of agroforestry in order to develop policies that encourage reforestation rather than deforestation. Also essential is to develop and set up dynamic agroforestry monitoring indicators that can assess the agroforestry trajectories of cropfields over time, and thus encourage farmers' long-term commitment to increasing forest cover.
培养农林复合经营吗?来自Côte科特迪瓦共和国的教训
促进农林业在Côte科特迪瓦的出现已成为国家优先事项。该国的农业部门创造了70%的出口收入,雇佣了三分之二的劳动人口,贡献了三分之一的GDP。然而,这一显著的经济业绩是建立在经济作物农业的基础上的,这种经济作物农业是以牺牲天然林为代价发展起来的,造成了世界上最令人震惊的毁林率之一。为了解决这一问题,科特迪瓦政府正在推动农林业作为一种解决方案,特别是在可可部门。然而,对农田中树木来源的详细分析表明,Côte科特迪瓦的农林业可分为两类:再造林农林业,通过逐渐将树木与可可树联系起来恢复森林覆盖;毁林农林业,通过将天然林转变为农林业系统,使森林覆盖退化和贫瘠。区分这两种形式的农林业是至关重要的,以便制定鼓励重新造林而不是砍伐森林的政策。同样重要的是制定和建立动态的农林业监测指标,以评估农田在一段时间内的农林业发展轨迹,从而鼓励农民长期致力于增加森林覆盖。

期刊介绍: In 1947, the former Tropical Forest Technical Centre (CTFT), now part of CIRAD, created the journal Bois et Forêts des Tropiques. Since then, it has disseminated knowledge and research results on forests in intertropical and Mediterranean regions to more than sixty countries. The articles, peer evaluated and reviewed, are short, synthetic and accessible to researchers, engineers, technicians, students and decision-makers. They present original, innovative research results, inventions or discoveries. The journal publishes in an international dimension. The topics covered are of general interest and are aimed at an informed international audience.
