How can smallholder farmers benefit from carbon finance while maintaining food security? This new brief highlights the untapped potential of fruit trees—such as mango and avocado—in carbon sequestration. 💡Key insights: ✅ Fruit trees play a significant role in on-farm carbon storage, yet their potential remains underutilized. ✅ New allometric equations provide a simple way for farmers to estimate carbon in their trees, helping them negotiate fair carbon payments. ✅ By integrating fruit trees into carbon projects, we can scale up agroforestry while safeguarding food security and livelihoods. 🌱 With the right tools, farmers can benefit from carbon markets without compromising their land or food production. 📖 Read/download a copy: https://lnkd.in/dV63-enh Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) | Catherine Muthuri | Shem Kuyah | Caroline Njoki | Denis Wakaba |
