book related to this Agroforestry has the potential to contribute to the improvement of household livelihood, since its various forms ofer multiple
alternatives and opportunities to farmers. Tis study assessed agroforestry practice in Mukura sector, Huye district, Rwanda. A
sample of 100 households was selected by stage sampling, randomly choosing four cells and two villages per cell in Mukura Sector.
Face-to-face interview was dispensed to household heads, and data were collected on agroforestry practices, on-farm tree species,
tree spatial arrangements, tree products, and the adoption rate. Woody species diversity and similarity were determined by using
Shannon–Weiner diversity and Sørensen’s indices, respectively. Sixty percent of the farmers practiced agroforestry. Ten woody
species were observed to grow on farm, providing varied products of timber, frewood, food and fodder, stakes for climbing beans,
and income. Low adoption of agroforestry practice was reported resulting from small land, land tenure, ignorance, unavailability
of tree seedlings, and the avoidance of tree-crop competition. On-farm tree diversity was observed to be higher than several other
sites in Rwanda. Te diferent cells of Mukura Sector grow the same woody species on the farms as demonstrated by reasonably
high indices of similarity. We recommend that eforts be made to reinforce extension services to improve farmers’ awareness on
the contribution of agroforestry to their social wellbeing. Ways of making seedlings available for planting should also be explored
