| description | Analysis of the potential mitigation impacts of the
agricultural development project Chanje Lavi
Plantè in Haiti indicated that large amounts of
carbon sequestration could be achieved through
reforestation and perennial crop expansion. The
project’s strategy for watershed and landscape
restoration links investments in profitable
orchard systems with hillside stabilization.
Reforestation of watersheds (–478,828
tCO2e/yr) and perennial crop expansion (–
230,854 tCO2e/yr), drive 98% of the project’s
sizable climate change mitigation co-benefits
that are foreseen under successful project
implementation.
Chanje Lavi Plantè’s reduction in postharvest
loss contribute to the reduced GHG emission
intensity of cropping systems (GHG emissions
per unit of production). Interventions are
estimated to reduce postharvest loss
substantially in these value chains: plantain (–
53%), maize (–47%), rice (–44%), beans (–50%)
and mango (–35%).
The investments made by the project in irrigation
infrastructure, terracing, and forest plantations
aim to increase financial revenues of
beneficiaries and reinforce the lasting provision
of ecosystem services. |
