The adoption of agricultural innovations is a critical adaptation mechanism for smallholder farmers to prepare and deal with potential shocks and uncertainty. Agroforestry is proven to be highly impactful at improving the adaptive capacity of farmers, the resilience of local farming systems and in providing diversified livelihood benefits. The adoption of agroforestry in Tanzania is generally uneven, with some successes and some failures and could be better supported. To do so, understanding the most significant factors influencing the adoption of agroforestry is key. Logistic regression (logit model) is used to analyse household survey data collected from 697 smallholder farmers. Results indicate that only 71 farmers (10.19 %) report planting new trees and actively practicing agroforestry. Farmers who are part of a project, are able to rent land and have a source of seedlings are more likely to adopt agroforestry. When farmers perceive rainfall to be changing, their land rights to be only moderately secure and their right to plant trees to be dependent on obtaining permission from the land owner or family members, they are less likely to adopt agroforestry. If the farmer perceives the land to be relatively fertile and has the intention to improve or maintain the fertility of his plot in the future then the likelihood of adopting agroforestry increases. Policy interventions ought to promote the participation of farmers in agroforestry projects to facilitate knowledge and experience building. Policy interventions should provide a reliable source of agroforestry inputs, such as seedlings to ensure that the resource requirements for agroforestry are well fulfilled. Farmer perceptions of land and agroforestry rights must be emphasized, clarified and streamlined to facilitate better policies. Farmer perceptions related to rainfall and soil fertility highlight a lack of awareness concerning the soil and water conservation benefits of agroforestry. Therefore, these must be better addressed through improved education and extension services. Consideration of farmer perceptions is crucial for the adoption of agroforestry.

农业创新的采用是小农应对和应对潜在冲击和不确定性的关键适应机制。事实证明，农林业对提高农民的适应能力，当地耕作制度的适应力以及提供多样化的生计利益具有很大的影响。坦桑尼亚在农林业方面的采用通常是不平衡的，既有成功也有一些失败，可以得到更好的支持。为此，关键是要了解影响农林业采用的最重要因素。逻辑回归（logit模型）用于分析从697个小农户中收集的家庭调查数据。结果表明，只有71位农民（10.19％）报告种植新树并积极从事农林业。参与项目的农民 能够租用土地并有苗木的源头更有可能采用农林业。当农民认为降雨在变化，他们的土地权仅得到适度保障以及他们植树的权利取决于获得土地所有者或家庭成员的许可时，他们不太可能采用农林业。如果农民认为土地比较肥沃，并且打算在将来改善或维持其土地的肥力，那么采用农林业的可能性就会增加。政策干预措施应促进农民参与农林业项目，以促进知识和经验的积累。政策干预措施应提供农林业投入的可靠来源，例如苗木，以确保农林业的资源需求得到充分满足。必须强调，澄清和简化农民对土地和农林业权利的看法，以促进更好的政策。农民对降雨和土壤肥力的认识突出表明，人们对农林业的水土保持效益缺乏认识。因此，必须通过改善教育和推广服务更好地解决这些问题。考虑农民的观念对于采用农林业来说至关重要。
