The findings in this study depicts the delicate interaction of forest, bees and local communities under traditional forest management and beekeeping arrangements. This research in particular investigate the multiple benefits of the forest for beekeepers, both ecosystem service and goods, the diversities of beekeeping technology, the conservation attitude and behavior of beekeepers, the dynamics of the forest and beekeeping practices in the region, the various access and tenure arrangements to forest for beekeeping. It also explains how this interaction could contribute to sustain livelihood and conservation of the forest. Thus, the book can be helpful for development workers, researchers and students interested to work and study the interaction of forest and beekeeping particularly in sub-Saharan Africa context.

Forest degradation as a result of logging, shifting cultivation, agriculture and urban development is a major issue throughout the tropics. It leads to loss in soil fertility, water resources and biodiversity, as well as contributes to climate change. Efforts are therefore required to try to minimize further degradation and restore tropical forests in a sustainable way. This is the first research-based book to examine this problem in East Africa. The specific focus is on the forests of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda, but the lessons learned are shown to be applicable to neighbouring countries and others in the tropics. A wide range of forest types are covered, from dry Miombo forest and afromontane forests, to forest-savannah mosaics and wet forest types. Current management practices are assessed and examples of good practice presented. The role of local people is also emphasized. The authors describe improved management and restoration through silviculture, plantation forestry and agroforestry, leading to improvements in timber production, biodiversity conservation and the livelihoods of local people.

In Ethiopia, honey production is a traditional occupation widely practised by farmers as a complementary enterprise. Immense, diverse botanical resources and suitable climatic conditions make the country favourable for beekeeping. However, an inefficient agricultural marketing system together with traditional production systems hinders smallholder farmers to benefit optimally from honey supply. In an attempt to address these problems, contract farming has been introduced in organic honey production since 2007 in Ethiopia. However, honey production via contracts is still very limited with only a small number of farmers engaged in it. This study is, therefore, initiated with the aims of (i) assessing the impact of contractual honey production on smallholders’ household income, and (ii) analysing the major factors affecting smallholder farmers income from contractual honey production in the Sheka zone, Ethiopia. In addition, the study examines structure and functioning of contract farming as it is practiced in the study area.

Founded on the core notion that we have reached a turning point in the governance, and thus the conservation, of ecosystems and the environment, this edited volume features more than 20 original chapters, each informed by the paradigm shift in the sector over the last decade. Where once the emphasis was on strategies for conservation, enacted through instruments of control such as planning and ‘polluter pays’ legislation, more recent developments have shown a shift towards incentive-based arrangements aimed at those responsible for providing the environmental services enabled by such ecosystems. Encouraging shared responsibility for watershed management, developed in Costa Rica, is a prime example, and the various interests involved in its instauration in Java are one of the subjects examined here.

Its diverse agroecology has endowed Ethiopia with enormous honey production potential in Africa. Nevertheless, due to the undeveloped production system and poor market linkage with the global arena, the country could not fetch proportional benefits from this resource. To enhance better understanding on the problem and recommend appropriate improvement measures for the sector, prevailing opportunities and constraints were explored in relation to honey export to Denmark. Major honey stakeholders were contacted to assess the opportunities and constraints of Ethiopian honey export. Semi-structured interview, participatory appraisal technique and short questionnaire interview were adopted for data collection. The results show improving opportunities for exporting companies through creating conducive policy and support from the government of Ethiopia and NGOs. On the other hand, current supply of honey by producers in terms of quantity and quality are major constraints for the exporters. In relation to importer, there are growing demands for Ethiopian honey due to its organic source. Similarly, consumers survey showed that the demand for organic honey has the highest priority in contrast to origin and price. However, most consumers lack information and have concern over Ethiopian honey; especially in terms of quality and characteristics. Development strategy that improves smallholder honey production capacity, better business communication with potential Danish honey importers and promotion of organic honey to consumers may make a significant contribution to enhance Ethiopian honey export to Denmark.

Ethiopia has a large variety of indigenous flora and fauna species. Ethiopia is the 4th and the 10th largest honey producer in Africa and all over the world respectively. Ethiopia is the owner of the highest number of bee colonies and produces surplus honey due to a variety of flora species exist in the country. From all the emerging small businesses, beekeeping is an important activity and the successful introduction that will arguably have the biggest impact on the entire community and make better livelihoods. Meanwhile, some anthropogenic and none technical problems, Ethiopia could not able to extend the modern beekeeping extension system athwart to the county. However, honey is still the only products that compete the European market and still the nation earns reasonable cash income, due to its organic products. Therefore, this book will have paramount important as a guide and would be necessary for a novice beekeeper through alleviating the existing problems. Again the book can be used a guide and very handy for an aspiring beekeeper that has no idea of how to start beekeeping and beekeeping management as a whole.
