 1. INTRODUCTION
• Home garden agro forestry is the system for the
production of subsistence crops
• for the gardeners and his family .It may also have
additional role of production of
• cash crop and ecological role such as hydrologic
benefits, micro climatic
• modification, soil erosion control and genetic resource
conservation
 1.1. Statement of the problem

• The development of home garden agro

forestry practice in the study area plays a
• great role for productive purpose of human
being as well as for protection of
• environmen
 1.2. Significance of the study
• This study would be inhibit the local communities to
improve home garden
• agroforestry practice as well as the challenging factor that
limit the development
• of home garden agroforestry practice in the study area.
The study created
• awareness among the local communities how to improve
home garden agro
• forestry practice and motivate or increase their
involvement in home garden
• agroforestry development
 1.3.2. Specific Objectives
•  To identify the nature and level of community
participation in the
• development of rural the role of home garden
agroforestry system in Bedano
• Woreda.
•  To identify the challenging factor for the
improvement of home garden
• agroforestry practice in the study area.
 2.2. 1. The contribution of home garden agro forestry to biodiversity
conservation

• Ecosystems and species that are important in

sustaining human life and the
• health of our planet are disappearing at an
alarming rate.
 2.4. Local knowledge and management of home
garden agroforestry

• Local knowledge is an indigenous knowledge

that unique to a particular culture
• and society which people used as a base for
local decision-making in agriculture,
• health, natural resource management and
other activities
 3.2 Sampling techniques and sample size
• Simple random sampling techniques, because of different
experience and
• knowledge of assessment home garden agroforestry
development. The study
• was carried out by purposefully select Dhertu Keble from
Bedano district due to
• its home garden agroforestry practice. And its accessibility
using study Keble
• 825 household exists; from those 10% (89) household was
taken for data
• collection.
 3.2.1. Sampling Size
Determination
• Since we cannot conduct the entire
household in the Keble, we have to
know the
• total households in the Keble.
• When we conduct our sample size, we will use the Solvens’ formula
• n
• =
• N
• ________
• 1+ (N*e
• 2
• )
• Target population (N) = 825 HHs
• Target population (N) = 825 HHs
• Then by using the formula;
• n=
• 825
• = 89
• 1+ (825*(10%) 2
• )
• n = 89 households
• Where, n =sample size
• N= Target population
• e = Margin of error (in social science margin of error is 10%)
• After this we will use the systematic random sampling (proportionately) in order
• to get number of respondents from Keble.
 3.4 Data Analysis
• The research was developed by both qualitative and
quantitative method of data analysis. After the collection
of the required information from primary and secondary
sources, the data was analyzed by using appropriate
methods.
• Qualitative data was analyzed by interpretation and
narration whereas
• Quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive
statistics, percentage, and
• frequency distribution, and tabular form.
 4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
4.1. Demographic characteristics of households
4.1.1. Age and sex of the respondents

• Through the study was done by using

random sampling technique and the study
• used 89 respondents from sex groups, (60)
67.4% and (29) 32.5% of male and
• female respectively
Table 1 age and sex structure of
the respondent
 5.2. RECOMMENDATION
• This research was conducted with limited time and
budget further study should
• be conducted to an output and enhance or
improved home garden agroforestry
• practice .Based on the finding I would like to
recommended the following points.
• The government body should be encouraged the
local community or farmers to
• adopt home garden agroforestry practice.
