Agroforestry can help fight climate change by storing carbon in trees. A study in Tanzania looked at different agroforestry methods and found that home gardens are the best at storing carbon. They measured the amount of carbon in trees like Mangifera indica and found that home gardens had the most carbon stored. This information can help people decide which agroforestry methods are most effective for fighting climate change.
