Agroforestry

Agroforestry systems, which involve the integration of woody vegetation with crop and/or animal systems, play a vital role in carbon storage both above-ground and in soils. A wider shift to agroforestry in the EU offers high climate mitigation potential, as well as resilience and biodiversity benefits.

 

Projects grouped in this category respond to the GHG monitoring, verification and reporting challenges associated with agroforestry, offer decision support tools, and present options for increased carbon sequestration and circularity.
