This review highlights the current state of knowledge about socioeconomic and biophysical role agroforestry for climate change adaptation, identifies three gaps, discusses in adaptation policy processes. Recent scholarship has focused on modeling agroforestry’s ability to buffer crops from extremes, farmer perspectives benefits. Socioeconomic examines how increases adaptive capacity, reduces vulnerability, thus helps farmers reduce risk. However, we identify gaps: (1) uneven geographic distribution research, (2) understanding benefits during specific hazards, (3) lack integrated biophysical–socioeconomic research. Last, discuss emergence global agenda, as evidenced recent Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change reports United Nations Framework Convention

Without transformative adaptation strategies, the impact of climate change is projected to reduce global crop yields and increase food insecurity, while rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions further exacerbate crisis. While agriculture a major contributor through unsustainable practices, it also offers significant opportunities mitigate these adoption sustainable practices. This review examines climate-smart (CSA) as key strategy for enhancing productivity, building resilience, reducing GHG emissions, emphasizing need strategic interventions accelerate its large-scale implementation improved security. The analysis revealed that nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has in developed countries, NUE remains at 55.47%, precision nutrient management integrated soil fertility strategies enhance productivity minimize environmental impacts. With 40% world’s agricultural land already degraded, sustainability alone insufficient, necessitating shift toward regenerative practices restore degraded water by improving health, biodiversity, increasing carbon sequestration, thus ensuring long-term resilience. CSA including agriculture, biochar application, agroforestry, improve security, emissions. However, result variability highlights site-specific optimize benefits. Integrating multiple enhances health more effectively than implementing single practice alone. Widespread faces socio-economic technological barriers, requiring supportive policies, financial incentives, capacity-building initiatives. By adopting technologies, can transition sustainability, securing systems addressing challenges.

Agroforestry as active area of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary research aims to bridge several artificial divides that have respectable historical roots but hinder progress toward sustainable development goals. These include: (1) The segregation “forestry trees” “agricultural crops”, ignoring the continuity in functional properties functions; farm-scale “Agroforestry-1” concept seeks reconnect perennial annual, woody nonwoody plants across forest–agriculture divide markets for inputs outputs. (2) identification agriculture with provisioning services assumed monopoly forests on other ecosystem (including hydrology, carbon storage, biodiversity conservation) landscape, challenged by opportunity “integrated” solutions at landscape scale “Agroforestry-2” explores. (3) gaps among local knowledge farmers/agroforesters managers, contributions social ecological sciences, path-dependency forestry, environmental or agricultural institutions, emerging policy responses “issue attention cycles” public debate, is focus “Agroforestry-3” concept. Progress understanding social–ecological–economic systems practitioners–science–policy interface requires both instrumental relational values nature are appreciated, they complement critical steps progressing issue cycles three scales. A set hypotheses can guide further research.

Understanding farmers' perceptions about climate change and adaptation strategies can help support their efforts develop interventions more suited to the local context. This is particularly important for farmers who exploit fragile ecosystems such as marshlands. Using semi-structured questionnaires interviews conducted with smallholder in marshlands of Kabare, this study compares perception men women relating uses chi-square test logistic regression examine gendered differences response determinants choice sustainable practices.

Biomass is fundamental to circular agricultural systems. Estimates of above- and below-ground biomass on land based upon IPCC Tier 1 estimates are compared with an updated carbon density map remote sensing, results indicating the methodology initial estimations robust. Two scenarios evaluated estimate sequestration potential increasing tree cover land: 1.) incremental change 2.) systematic agroforestry. below ground were combined a analysis increase in biomass. Global increases (4−6 Pg C for change; 12−19 change) highlight substantial mitigation potential. Increasing global by 10% would sequester more than 18 C. South America has highest potential, followed Southeast Asia, West Central Africa, North America. Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, India, United States China among top countries.

As agricultural land expansion is the primary driver of deforestation, agroforestry could be an optimal use strategy for climate change mitigation and reducing pressure on forests. Agroforestry a promising method carbon sequestration. With recent advancements in geospatial data science technology, ability to predict aboveground biomass (AGB) assess ecosystem services rapidly expanding. This study was conducted Belpada Block Balangir, Odisha, forest-dominated region eastern India. We recorded species occurrence measured plant parameters, including Circumference at Breast Height (CBH), height, geolocation, 196 plots (0.09 ha) intervention sites noted tree species. used Sentinel-1 Sentinel-2 multi sensor achieve synergy AGB estimation. Three machine learning models were used: Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The RF model exhibited highest level prediction accuracy (R2 = 0.69 RMSE 17.07 Mg/ha), followed by ANN 0.63 19.35 SVM 0.54, 21.97 Mg/ha. spectral vegetation indices that are (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Soil-Adjusted (SAVI), Enhanced (EVI), Modified Simple Ratio (MSR), (MSAVI), (DVI), SAR backscatter values, found important variables prediction. findings revealed interventions plantations resulted average stock increase 15 Mg/ha over five years area.

Abstract Landscape restoration initiatives are mainly focusing on forest regeneration and agroforestry, especially in the Global South. However, due to a lack of monitoring tools, carbon balance efforts remains poorly quantified. Here, we use satellite images from 2008 2019 calculate stocks for individual trees Rwanda, country which has been actively engaged activities over past decade. We show that smallholder farmers average planted about 3 per farm during 2008–2019, contributing 50.4 million new at national scale. The overall C sink farmland was 0.13 Megagrams Carbon hectare year, is 6 times lower than gains observed degraded forests (0.76 year). If greenhouse gas emissions remain level 2019, agroforestry (~61% area coverage) continued natural (~0.5% have potential offset 80% before 2050. Our work monitors quantifies progress impact landscape projects outlines pathway engage with limited number on-farm into expanding market.
