Designing REDD + Compliant Agroforestry
Agroforestry provides fuel, fruits, forage, shelter for animals or crops, and other benefits for a short period and timber for the long-term. The versatility of agroforestry as a land-use management system will be able to provide for the production aspect as well the environmental protection, including reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation.
Agroforestry to become REDD+ compliant means providing livelihood opportunities for forest-dependent communities. As such, there is the need to empower LGU personnel to implement agroforestry systems to reduce pressure to the forest and prevent further deforestation and land degradation.
