International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Forest ecosystems are vital for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and rural livelihoods, especially in Ethiopia, where smallholder farmers manage over 60% of forest resources. This study evaluated land use and land cover (LULC), mapped the forest product value chain, identified income determinants for smallholders, and assessed system constraints and
