混農林業在減少全球貧困和維持環境永續性方面發揮著重要作用。然而,人們對混農林業與農民福祉之間的關係研究並不充足。本研究旨在評估影福祉的影響。橫斷面資料收集自印尼東爪哇的 303 名馬鈴薯農民。使用probit(概率回歸分析)估計影響農民決定採用混農林業的因素,並使用傾向得分匹配法(PSM)調查採用混農林業對客觀福祉的影響,客觀福祉由農業收入和非農業收入衡量;在採用混農林業對主觀福祉的影響中,主觀福祉是通過生活滿意度和幸福感來衡量的。我們的探索得到了三個結果;首先,混農林業的採用受到梯田利用、農民年齡和教育水準、農民參與社會活動、以及是否參與農民團體和合作社有正向顯著的影響;其次,採用混農林業對客觀福祉衡量指標(即農業收入)有重大影響,但對非農業收入沒有影響;第三,混農林業的採用對主觀福祉(即幸福感和生活滿意度)都有顯著和正向的影響。因此,這些發現意味著農民應該持續實施混農林經營以改善他們的福祉條件。
Agroforestry has an essential role to reduce global poverty and maintaining environmental sustainability. However, little is known about the association between agroforestry and farmers' well-being. This study aims to estimate the factors affecting agroforestry adoption and investigate the impact of agroforestry adoption on objective and subjective well-being. The cross-sectional data were collected from 303 indigenous farmers in East Java of Indonesia. A probit regression analysis was used to estimate the factors affecting farmers' decision to adopt agroforestry, and propensity score matching (PSM) to investigate the impact of agroforestry adoption on objective well-being, which was measured by farming income and non-farming income and the subjective well-being and the impact of agroforestry adoption on subjective well-being, which was measured by life satisfaction and happiness. There were three results in our exploration; firstly, agroforestry adoption was positively and significantly affected by the use of terraced land, farmers’ age and education level, and farmers’ participation in social activities, farmers’ groups, and cooperative membership; secondly, agroforestry adoption has a significant impact on objective well-being measurement namely farm income, but not for non-farm income; and thirdly, agroforestry adoption has a significant and positive impact on both subjective well-being measurement namely happiness and life satisfaction. Therefore, these findings imply that farmers should implement agroforestry continuously to improve their well-being conditions.
