Agroforestry for Monetising Carbon Credits

Abstract

This book explores carbon credits and trading within agroforestry systems. It covers atmospheric CO₂ management, as well as achieving net zero and net negative carbon emissions through the carbon credit concept and its application in agroforestry systems amidst climate change. Carbon farming in agroforestry contributes to carbon footprint mitigation while ensuring ecosystem health and environmental sustainability. The book discusses trading protocols, including soil carbon credits in agroforestry, and the monetisation of carbon credits from various agroforestry systems for the benefit of farmers. Additionally, it addresses challenges and proposes a future roadmap regarding carbon credit-based policies in agroforestry. The book emphasises new insights derived from updated research, development, and extension activities aimed at combating climate change through carbon sequestration in agroforestry, enhancing the carbon credits for landowners and increasing productivity, as per the forum conferences of parties under the United Nations. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
