abstract = {The tef-Acacia decurrens-charcoal production agroforestry
system (TACPA system) is a conventionally and uniquely
adopted indigenous potential climate-smart agricultural
technology (CSAT) in northwest Ethiopia. This study
investigates factors determining farmers’ adoption and
intensity of use of the TACPA system using a descriptive
statistic and a double-hurdle model. A total of 326 farming
household heads were selected using multistage random
sampling from two purposively chosen provinces. The
descriptive statistics showed that $64.42\%$ of the local
farmers adopted the TACPA system, and the area covered by
the adopter was 0.38 ha. Empirical estimates of the first
hurdle revealed that credit, plot ownership, association,
primary road distance, asset, farming experience, labor,
family size, livestock, tenure, and marginal land influenced
the adoption of the TACPA system. On the other hand,
estimates of the second hurdle showed that the intensity of
use of the TACPA system was determined by age, plot
ownership, nativity, primary road distance use, livestock,
tenure, secondary road distance, and experience. The
complementarity between the adoption of the TACPA system and
its intensity of use suggests the necessity of joint
socio-economic policies to meet the priority needs of
smallholder farmers of the study area and to disseminate the
innovation to other parts of Africa with similar
