The book is a collection of chapters that deal with agroforestry systems on small farms. It compiles a variety of suitable agroforestry systems that can both sequester carbon and mitigate climate change while also providing socio-economic benefits. The book also discusses the ways in which small landholders can use agroforestry to combat land degradation.
Raising the average human lifespan by a decade or more will change our world. The future is not about whether this will happen; it is about what we should do when it happens. Even the most pessimistic assertions about the future of our environment are underestimating the extent of the problem. There is simply no model in which more years of life does not equate to more people and in which that does not lead to more crowding, environmental degradation, more consumption, and more waste. Hence, as we prolong life, these environmental crises will be further exacerbated. With current diets and production practices, feeding 7,6 billion people is degrading terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, deplet...

This volume contains studies of the implications of changing climates in Asia and Africa, two regions containing the majority of Earth’s population and many less developed countries. People of this region often lack the cushion of advanced technologies or economic safety nets that the West has come to expect. The region has significant resource-development challenges, particularly for food production. The consequences of changing climates for the natural and human environments in this region are different in their social and economic contexts. The challenges are often complicated by a lack of data and lack access to relatively common technological systems that enable monitoring, field work...

Implementasi program Perhutanan Sosial (PS) penuh dengan tantangan dan perdebatan tentang apakah dan bagaimana PS di Indonesia dapat memberikan kepastian hak tenurial bagi masyarakat dan berkontribusi untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan kelestarian hutan. Khusus untuk wilayah Maluku dan Papua yang memiliki sejarah penguasaan lahan hutan yang cukup beragam dan karakteristik sosial budaya yang spesifik akan memberikan dampak yang berbeda dari implementasi PS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan role model PS di Maluku dan Papua yang mendukung kelestarian hutan dan peningkatan kesejahteraan. Tujuan tersebut didukung dengan kajian tentang: (1) Implementasi skema PS di Maluku dan Papua; (2)...
