Multistrata Agroforestry
Below is all the information about the project: Multistrata Agroforestry
The Multistrata Agroforestry solution is a perennial cropping system with multiple layers of carbon-sequestering vegetation, where crops grow under the shade of taller trees. This system mimics natural forests and offers substantial carbon sequestration while producing food. It also provides ecosystem services such as habitat, erosion control, and water quality. Replacing grazing on nondegraded tropical humid grassland, it has modest adoption potential but a high mitigation impact, combining the benefits of afforestation with food production. Protecting and expanding multistrata agroforestry in tropical humid climates should be a top priority for land-based climate solutions.
Impact:
Some existing agricultural systems can incorporate multistrata agroforestry; degraded lands can be converted or restored to it. If adopted on another 150.90-186.01 million hectares by 2050 (up from 100 million hectares currently), 13.26-23.94 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gases could be sequestered. The average sequestration rate of 4.45 metric tons of carbon per hectare per year is strong, as is the lifetime financial return of US$2.28-3.93 trillion on a US$70.44-120.03 billion initial investment and a lifetime net operational cost of US$186.24-319.82 billion.
