Results from the study identified majority (75%) of least farmers adapting to agroforestry technologies while (25%) were not practicing the technology. The study also identified the major types of agroforestry technologies adopted by farmers. Adoption of agroforestry technologies by small scale farmers has been low leading to persistence of wood fuel deficit. A sample of 201 small scale farmers who were selected using stratified proportionate random sampling in the location was used in the study.
