Actions needed to halt deforestation and promote climate-smart agriculture

What is Needed• Integrated action across REDD+ and agriculture
will help mitigation and food security
• ‘Climate-smart’ agriculture that achieves the triple-win of food security, adaptation and mitigation will strengthen the impacts of REDD+

1. Integrated action will help mitigation and food security

9 billion people by 2050—require 70 to 100% increase in food
But only about additional 10% of current arable, non protected land will be available (445 Mha) (Lambin 2011)
And the competition will be stiff
Increasing Demand for Food, Limited Land Reserve

2. Climate Smart Agriculture can strengthen REDD+
Agriculture can significantly contribute to mitigation
• Reduce land use change• Increase carbon sequestration (soil,
agroforestry)• Reduce emissions (Nitrous oxide, methane)
No one-size-fits-all solution

Many Agricultural Options• Sustainable intensification: increasing crop
yields per area to reduce pressure for forest conversion
• Sustainable agricultural land management to reduce emissions and increase food production and resilience
• Target expansion to rehabilitated degraded areas• Diverse agroforests, forest-fallow or high-carbon
and high-biodiversity production systems

Solution: Integrating Agriculture
• Address agricultural drivers:– Governance and institutional design: land tenure,
macro drivers, integrated “landscape” projects, national climate action plans
– Invest in agricultural options that reduce pressure on forests and increase food security
• Finance ‘Climate-smart’ agriculture that achieves the triple-win of food security, adaptation and mitigation

• Link to economic development policies to meet the needs of smallholder farmers and reduce poverty and local food insecurity near forests
