Adoption of Agroforestry in Mai District, Phongsaly Province - Lao PDR

Factors that influence the adoption of agroforestry were investigated by conducting semi-structured interviews with men, women, and leader groups in eight target villages, Mai District. A total of 194 persons (33% female) were met by the survey team, representing 18 percent of the adult population. Early findings were then presented at a stakeholder’s workshop in the District centre to examine these findings and consider how agroforestry could assist with rural development.
