4. • Farmers most interested in reducing food insecurity
• No long- or medium-term planning possible under food insecure situation
• Tree planting (and other investments in livelihood improvements) only
after basic food security is guaranteed
• Food insecurity rose by at least one month (above on average 3 months)
during drought and flooding
• Coping strategies lead into ‘poverty trap’
• Agroforestry reduced food insecurity by about 1 month
