  • Project description
    As part of the proposed A/R CDM project activity, farmers associated with COOPEAGRI will introduce forestry activities in their privately owned farms. The A/R CDM project will be distributed over three activities: agroforestry systems, assisted natural regeneration and forest plantations. The promotion of diverse land uses in the project area implies that farmers will maintain good levels of incomes and food security, but also that it will favor the production of environmental services. The expected benefits of the proposed A/R project activity are: biodiversity conservation, local employment, prevention of land degradation, improved GHG removals through the increase of biomass carbon pools.
