Strategies Sustainable Management of Agroforestry in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

Global climate change caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are recognized as a serious environmental issue the twenty-first century. Climate leads to land degradation adverse effects on productivity crops thus ultimately affecting food livelihood security people. Although, agroforestry, purposeful growing trees in interacting combinations, has been practised world since time immemorial traditional land-use system. It is shining approach which merges century’s old knowledge with modern science system concept thinking small scale farmer’s achieve potentially big transformative outcomes. In recent times agroforestry practices receiving huge attention sustainable land-management option because its ecological, economic, social attributes. Also, simultaneously offers large-scale diversification agriculture get supplement fuel, fodder, fruits fibres one hand stabilizing ecosystems (increase tree cover, production timber wood products reduces pressure forests) hand. Furthermore, important opportunities combat mitigation strategies like sequestration potential decreasing or adapting changing creating microclimate increasing biodiversity. However, association this also create synergies between both adaptation actions necessity current times. Especially, approaches use Multi-Purpose Tree Species (MPTs), relay-cropping, terracing contour cultivation, strip alley cropping appropriate fulfil needs low-resource farmers restoring through adaptation.
