Trees on smallholder farms and forest restoration are critical for Rwanda to achieve net zero emissions
M. Mugabowindekwe, M. Brandt, et al.
Explore the remarkable impact of smallholder farmers in Rwanda, who planted 50.4 million trees from 2008 to 2019, contributing to significant carbon sequestration despite lower gains compared to forest restoration. This study by Maurice Mugabowindekwe and colleagues reveals a path for integrating agroforestry into carbon markets, potentially offsetting 80% of national emissions by 2050.
