Abstract China is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in world, and agricultural GHG emission accounts for nearly a fifth total China. To understand carbon absorption characteristics production systems those arid oasis areas, typical representative city northwestern China, Zhangye City, was selected study.The factor method used to analyze calculate changing dynamics whole system region (38,592 km 2 ) from 2010 2021.The results revealed that emissions during planting mainly come fertilizers, which account highest proportion (47.9%) planting. Animal enteric fermentation local livestock farming are main contributor (86%) emissions. The annual average intensity 4.4 t C-eq ha −1 crop 2.6 system. ratio sequestration crops 1:1.7. We find slightly exceeds its study region, with an 41% sustainable development index.

The modern world grapples with complex and interrelated social, economic, environmental issues that endanger both natural ecosystems the quality of human life. Resilience has become a vital concept for addressing these challenges, focusing on capacity communities, systems, institutions to adapt, recover, transform in face adversity. Agroforestry, which integrates trees into agricultural landscapes, is promising approach building resilience by improving climate adaptability, enhancing productivity, promoting sustainable resource use, expanding livelihood options. This chapter delves ways agroforestry contributes strengthening social economic resilience, management, diversification, generating income, reducing poverty, empowering marginalized groups, fostering cohesion securing food, health, wellbeing challenges adaption strategies agroforestry.

Globally, the impact of climate change on microbes, plants, animals, humans, and other environmental elements has called for urgent, safe, sustainable interventions. Primarily, leads to drought, land degradation, soil fertility depletion, erosion, unfolding new pests diseases, which consequently affect food security. Different methods targeted at reducing greenhouse gas emissions involved transition renewable energy sources, adoption technologies in industrial transportation sectors, good agricultural practices mechanisms such as zero, tillage, crop rotation, agroforestry. However, all these methods, agroforestry is unique, it able mitigate alleviate effects change. Therefore, this chapter discusses through Agroforestry alleviates change, identifies research gaps, recommends how can be better explored

Changing livelihood practices entails multiple uncertainties, but there is conflicting evidence of the direction in which uncertainty influences adaptation choices. We suggest that this partly due to non-differentiating between sources relevant decision-makers. In a discreet choice experiment (DCE) conducted Mexico, smallholders choose entering an improved program (1) agroforestry, (2) traditional system (milpa), or (3) status quo. The alternatives provided varying degrees certainty about benefits. elicited risk and time preferences developed scale source-dependent preferences.

Reasons include low self-efficacy, reduced work autonomy, trade-offs income diversification.

The world's multiple landscape crises have placed agroforestry among the cost-effective nature-based solutions with numerous ecological, social, and economic benefits. This study examined farmer land factors influencing adoption of practices in Gambia's Central River Region. Stratified random sampling was used to collect primary data from 377 households using semi-structured questionnaires farm-level walkabout observations. purposive snowball methods engage different key informants. results indicated that rate area 52.3 %. Significant differences between means adopters non-adopters were observed. Adopters held more size 0.66ha vs. 0.55ha, owned livelihood assets (private livestock), had significantly fenced lands. binary regression model established assets, size, fencing, gender positively associated area. Conclusively, land-related emerged as predictable determinants than farmer-related factors. Notably, age education, though important socioeconomic attributes, remained relatively same non-adopters, not statistically significant. recommends cross-cutting policies, well other interventions boost adoption. It further suggests a follow-up quantify actual cost benefits
