Agroforestry, which includes planting trees in cropland and pastureland and implementing buffer strips of natural vegetation cover, is the largest lever for biodiversity, according to our estimates. We assume it would be implemented in a way that does not affect output. Comb...
They might include short rotation coppices and agroforestry systems for producing biomass for heating and electricity production [133], even if the expected yields are not very high. However, cultivating perennial crops like fast growing tree species probably promotes the development of soils and of ...
Most crops can benefit from the practice of no-till, but not all crops are suitable for complete no-till agriculture [30][31]. Crops that do not perform well when competing with other plants that grow in no-tilled soil in their early stages can be best grown by using other conservation...
Development partners and private actors are also implementing pilots to support adoption of climate-smart measures. One Acre Fund, a social enterprise that works with more than one million smallholder farmers in Africa, is expanding an agroforestry program, exploring the link to carbon credit markets...

Thereby the typical simplistic focus of modelling climate change impacts on sole crops (usually maize) in smallholder systems of Africa can be overcome. TS Data availability We need much better understanding of how climate effects scale with changes in low input systems TS Data availability Still, ...

This means they can plant perineal cash crops, such as cocoa, and can rent out land when they face labor shortages. Women in those households may have access to some of the cash generated from those activities. Their access to this resource, however, is dependent on their intrahousehold ...
