Low emission development strategies in agriculture. An Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Uses (AFOLU) perspective por Pinto, Alessandro de, Man Li, Haruna, Akiko, Hyman, Glenn G., Londoño, Mario Andres, Creamer, Bernardo, Kwon, Ho-Young, Valencia Garcia, Jhon Brayan, Tapasco, Jeimar, Martínez, Jesús David

“…In fact, reducing losses in soil fertility, reclaiming degraded lands, and promoting synergistic interaction between crop production and forests are generally seen as good climate change policies. In order for decision-makers to develop long-term policies that address these issues, they must have tools at their disposal that evaluate trade-offs, opportunities, and repercussions of the options considered. …”
