Die Agroforstwirtschaft kann zum Schutz des Bodens, der Biodiversität, zur Ernährungs- und Einkommenssicherheit sowie zur Resilienz gegenüber dem Klimawandel beitragen. Kakaobauern in Alto Beni in Bolivien setzen verschiedene Anbausysteme für den Kakaoanbau ein, von Monokulturen bis zu hoch diversifizierten Agroforstsystemen, und viele haben die Bio-Zertifizierung. Um die verschiedenen Anbausysteme zu vergleichen und herauszufinden, was die Rolle der Bio-Zertifizierung ist, wurden für diese Studie Daten in Kakaoparzellen erhoben und Interviews mit Kakaoproduzenten durchgeführt. Neben der Biodiversität waren auch die Kakaoernten und die Einkommen der Familien höher, welche ein Agroforstsystem hatten. Die Interviews zeigten, dass die Bio-Zertifizierung die Kakaoproduzenten motivierte, Kooperativen zu gründen, die Wissen und technische Unterstützung zugänglich machten, was wiederum die Agroforstwirtschaft förderte. Die Kooperativen boten Rückhalt und soziale Netze, Austausch und Wissensvermittlung und sollten daher für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung systematisch und langfristig unterstützt werden.
N1 -Agroforestry can help protect soil and biodiversity, increase food and income security, as well as build resilience to climate change. Cocoa farmers in Alto Beni in Bolivia have different forms of cocoa cultivation from monocultures to highly diversified agroforestry systems and many have organic certification. To compare the different forms of cocoa cultivation and to evaluate the role of organic certification, we sampled data in cocoa plots and interviewed cocoa producers. Besides biodiversity, cocoa yields and incomes were also higher for cocoa producers who had agroforestry systems. The interviews indicated that organic certification was an incentive to form cooperatives which can make knowledge and technical support accessible to cocoa farmers, thereby leading to a greater adoption of agroforestry systems. These cooperatives provided social networks, exchange and knowledge transmission, and should therefore be systematically supported for a more sustainable development.
