Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is a simple and inexpensive practice for restoring vegetation cover on degraded land, unlike reforestation. Current knowledge on the socioeconomic factors that may influence its adoption is limited. The objective of this study is to analyze the socioeconomic determinants of FMNR adoption by communities. 197 households were surveyed. The probit model was used to identify the socioeconomic determinants of adoption. The results show that ethnicity, access to external support, receptivity to technological innovations, mode of land acquisition and the importance of production are determining factors in the adoption of FMNR. According to farmers, FMNR contributes to improving soil fertility and soil moisture conservation (21% and 17% of farmers, respectively). According to them, the FMNR improves the supply of wood (18 %) and non-timber forest products (13 %). The main constraints to the scaling up of this practice are, respectively, illegal logging (42%), animal roaming (29%), and the difficulties of using animal traction in a farm having many trees/shrubs (12 %). These results provide an overview of the considerations to be integrated for the success of FMNR as a strategy to strengthen the resilience of communities and ecosystems to climate disturbances.

与重新造林不同，农民管理的自然再生 (FMNR) 是一种简单且成本低廉的做法，可用于恢复退化土地上的植被覆盖。目前对可能影响其采用的社会经济因素的了解有限。本研究的目的是分析社区采用 FMNR 的社会经济决定因素。调查了197户。概率模型用于确定采用的社会经济决定因素。结果表明，种族、获得外部支持的机会、对技术创新的接受度、征地方式和生产的重要性是采用 FMNR 的决定性因素。据农民称，FMNR 有助于提高土壤肥力和保持土壤水分（分别为 21% 和 17% 的农民）。根据他们，FMNR 改善了木材 (18%) 和非木材林产品 (13%) 的供应。扩大这种做法的主要限制分别是非法采伐 (42%)、动物漫游 (29%) 以及在拥有许多树木/灌木的农场使用动物牵引的困难 (12%)。这些结果概述了要使 FMNR 成功作为加强社区和生态系统对气候扰动的复原力的战略的考虑因素。
