Agroforestry for a Sustainable Future (eBook, PDF)

The Place of Carbon Credits and Markets

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates the multifaceted role of agroforestry in promoting sustainability and resilience in agricultural systems, with a particular focus on the potential of carbon credits and markets to incentivize these systems. The approach taken in this book is interdisciplinary, drawing from ecological science, agricultural economics, policy analysis, and social sciences. Each chapter provides a comprehensive examination of key themes, with a blend of theoretical insights and practical examples, highlighting successful case studies and identifying pathways for overcoming barriers to adoption. By engaging with a range of stakeholders including farmers, policymakers, environmentalists, and community organizations, this book aims to foster a dialogue about how agroforestry can be integrated into broader sustainability frameworks. The author argues that agroforestry not only enhances ecosystem services but also contributes to carbon sequestration efforts, presenting an opportunity to align agricultural practices with climate goals. By exploring the intersection of agroforestry and carbon markets, this book seeks to inform and inspire action toward a more sustainable future.
