TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the current evidence base examining the contribution of forest and trees to agricultural production and livelihoods in the tropics, where production often occurs within complex land use mosaics that are increasingly subjected to concomitant climatic and anthropogenic pressures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess whether forests contribute indirectly to the dietary diversity of rural households by supporting diverse agricultural production systems and find that households in the near zone were more diverse in the food items collected from Munesa Forest than in the other two zones.

TL;DR: The Agrarian Change Project (ACP) as mentioned in this paper is a multi-disciplinary research initiative that applies detailed socio-ecological methodologies in multi-functional landscapes, and assess the subsequent implications for conservation, livelihoods and food security.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare and contrast forest restoration scenarios in order to explore whether there are ideal amounts and configurations of forests that optimize benefits for food production, and explore trade-offs among total forest cover, its configuration, and total wheat production.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide empirical evidence to generate insights on the relationship between forest cover change and key provisioning ecosystem services and reforestation pathways in Southern Ethiopia, three zones along a gradient of decreasing land cover complexity and tree cover were examined.
