Despite this synergy between increasing food security and climate change mitigation, the adoption rate of agroforestry in Sub-Saharan Africa is still unsatisfactory.  Despite its potential It is therefore important to provide a better understanding on  the adoption rate barriers and reasons that hinder smallholder farmers to adopt agroforestry methods on their cultivated lands. This paper reviewed the approaches taken by different recent studies on the evaluation  of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence farmers' attitudes, knowledge and perception and thus their decision-making process. We proposed a first approach for a quantification of extrinsic factors based on approximate indicators that can be evaluated using publicly available statistical data. Thereby we were able to identify a set of countries with a large adoption potential for  agroforestry in Sub-Saharan Africa is still unsatisfactory. and a low potential, respectively.  Synergy between food security and %He also explained the future risks of  climate change mitigation in areas such as human security, livelihoods and human health, and the implications on sustainable development.  He also explained the future risks of %Pachauri highlighted on  climate change in areas such as human security, livelihoods and human health, adaptation  and the implications impact of mitigation  on sustainable development. economic growth.
