Agroforestry In Organic Horticulture вђ Webinar Join webinar "agroforestry and tenure in a changing climate: key issues and opportunities ahead" 08 10 2019 agroforestry is gaining new ground in the quest for climate smart agriculture practices, due to its ability to sequester carbon and mitigate climate change while increasing the socio economic and environmental sustainability of rural. As an agricultural management option under climate change, agroforestry is unique in that it is a woody plant based approach that adds functional diversity at various scales (2). perennial components can create microclimates that benefit crops and livestock. the use of agroforestry to enhance resiliency is not a new idea.

How Regenerative Agroforestry Could Solve The Climate Crisis World Agroforestry contributes to climate change mitigation in three ways. (1) sequestering carbon in biomass and soils, (2) reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and (3) avoiding emissions through reduced fossil fuel and energy usage on farms. for a windbreak (figure 1), the growing trees store carbon directly in their biomass and in the soil. The ability of forests and trees to mitigate and adapt to climate change is affected by various policies, often under the authority of different institutions. listen to an in depth interview with alexandre meybeck from the cgiar research program on forests, trees and agroforestry (fta) and the u.n. food and agriculture organization’s julia wolf on why it is important to include forests and. The importance of secure land tenure cannot be overemphasized when talking about naturalizing agroforestry: the importance of long term tenure security has long been viewed as the key to achieving lasting policy changes in forest and agricultural land use (fortmann, 1985; khaleque and gold, 1993; sanchez, 1999; weinstock and vergara, 1987). Despite this, agroforestry’s potential to climate change is at the core of three mitigation measures within peru’s nationally determined contributions (ndcs) to the paris agreement on climate change, showing political recognition of its relevance and the intention to support more farmers to embrace the approach.
