Abstract
Agroforestry practices involve integrating trees into agricultural landscapes to enhance productivity and sustainability. In the Ethiopian Highlands, female farmers play a crucial role in agriculture but often face challenges related to economic empowerment. Not applicable (Key insights section will provide theoretical insights). This theoretical framework highlights the potential for agroforestry as a tool for gender equality in agriculture, providing insights that can guide future research and policy development. Policymakers should consider implementing targeted interventions to support female farmers' participation in agroforestry programmes. These could include financial incentives, access to credit, and capacity-building workshops.
