In recent years, sustainable agroforestry practices have gained significant attention in various regions due to their potential to enhance biodiversity and promote environmental sustainability. The research employs qualitative methods including semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of women farmers from different regions in Egypt. Data analysis involves thematic content analysis. A notable finding is that while approximately 45% of the sampled women reported adopting sustainable agroforestry practices, this varied significantly across different ecological zones and farming systems within Egypt. Despite the challenges faced by women farmers in implementing these practices, there is a clear trend towards adoption over time, suggesting potential for further policy support and community engagement initiatives. Future research could explore the long-term impacts of sustainable agroforestry on environmental health and socio-economic outcomes. Policy recommendations should focus on enhancing access to resources and improving education about these practices among women farmers.
