Agroforestry: A Game-Changer in Fighting Climate Change and Boosting Agriculture.
Agroforestry is a sustainable land use method that combines trees with crops or livestock. It is seen as a way to store carbon and fight climate change. By using agroforestry, we can capture more carbon from the atmosphere and store it in trees and soil. Estimates suggest there are over 1 billion hectares of land currently used for agroforestry worldwide, and more land could be converted to this method. The amount of carbon stored in agroforestry systems depends on factors like climate, soil, and how the land is managed. However, there are still challenges in accurately measuring carbon storage and making these projects profitable. Despite its potential, agroforestry's environmental benefits are not fully recognized or utilized yet.
