Project Type: Carbon removal (ex-ante)

In addition to the profound carbon sequestration and ecological benefits of this project, agroforestry work creates an enduring and growing source of good for farmers and communities. By collaborating with smallholder farmers to incorporate agroforestry into their land stewardship practices, trees in this project provide agricultural products that generate sources of income and bolster the local economy. Landowners also have more incentive to protect trees on their property, rather than pursue agricultural practices that result in deforestation.
