The contribution of agroforestry methods in Bangladesh is examined in this review study as a climate-smart agriculture tool, including the aspects of (i) Agroforestry as Food Security Capacity and Livelihood Improvement, (ii) Sustainable land use through agroforestry for promoting resilience to...

The present-day agriculture is facing a major problem in form of climate change. We need to adopt different techniques of climate-smart technologies to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and form a strong path to face different binding treaties of world against climate change. To fight this...

Global sustainability challenges associated with increasing resource demands from a growing population call for resource-efficient land-use strategies that address multiple sustainability issues. Multifunctional agroforestry-based phytoremediation (MAP) is one such strategy that can simultaneously...

Carbon sequestration is an important aspect of expelling greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and decelerating the rate of global warming. Agroforestry plays an important role in carbon sequestration. Keeping this in mind, the current study was carried out between 2017 and 2021 to assess the effect ...

The impact of carbon revenue on the profitability of agroforestry systems in comparison to monocultures is unexplored in regard to Sub-Saharan Africa. This study creates a multivariate model to evaluate the impact of carbon revenue on the profitability of agroforestry relative to the dominant...

The present study deals with the assessment of crop composition, yield, biomass, net primary productivity (NPP), carbon stock and carbon sequestration in agri-silviculture (AS) and agri-horticulture (AH) agroforestry systems of Central Himalaya. An extensive field survey was carried out for the...

Agroforestry is a land management practice where trees are grown around or among crops or pastureland. This integration of agriculture and forestry is frequently seen as an option that can secure food security and co-deliver a range of environmental benefits. However, quantitative studies...

Agroforestry plays an important role in climate mitigation through atmospheric carbon removal by photosynthetic activity of tree. However, the carbon sequestration potential of smallholder's agroforestry's parklands is not well documented in Burkina Faso. Therefore, agroforestry parkland of...
