Abstract

Agro-forestry is a dynamic, ecologically based, natural resources management system that, through integration of trees on farms and agricultural landscapes, diversifies and sustains production for increased social, economic, and environmental benefits for land users at all levels. The expansion of agriculture in Ethiopia has been taking place at the expense of the natural vegetation, particularly forests, woodlands and other wildlife resources, leading to loss of both flora and fauna, and ultimately, destruction of habitats as a whole. This study is conducted to assess the attitude of society towards agro-forestry in Mekelle zone, Aynalem kebele and carry out numerous indigenous and traditional agro -forestry practice. This research has been done using primary data, which is collected by selfe-administered questionnaire, using simple random sampling technique filled by sample respondents. To address our objectives, descriptive statistics such as frequencies, charts and inferential statistics such as chi-square test and logistic regression model were used for the data analysis. In addition, the study used computer software SPSS, for data analysis and to organize the output. Tree growing conservation and management on agricultural land and in forested areas have been taking place by rural people since the beginning of settled agriculture, for the purpose of food, shelter, ceremonial or religious purpose. As we observed from the study almost half of the population were less satisfied towards agro-forestry practices. The variables such as the education condition of the societies, the condition of the environment, the area of the plant are planted, the best place the planter prefer to plant the tree and the reason to plant tree at home compound/farm are the significance variable have effect on the attitude of the societies towards to agro-forestry.
