Extract

The goal of this issue of the AJAA on carbon (C) sequestration in agriculture and forestry is to demystify the potential for the agroforestry sectors in Annex 1 countries of the Kyoto Protocol (exemplified by the US and Canada in this issue) and non-Annex 1 countries (exemplified by Indonesia) to be a source of inexpensive C sinks to offset C emissions from other sectors, while at the same time benefiting small farmers and conservation.
