Overview

Carbon sequestration is emerging as a major international policy goal in the context of increasing concerns about global climate change. The Bhind is semi arid region in India. If the majority of the people who are subsistence farmers can receive even small amounts of C payments through their agroforestry practices, it would be a substantial contribution to their economic welfare and the overall development of the region. Thus, an analysis of the C sequestration potential of various agroforestry practices (traditional and newly introduced) in the region is timely. This book describes about necessity for this research work, field survey, primary and secondary data collection, data interpretation of all six blocks of Bhind district of Madhya Pradesh. Carbon sequestration potential (CSP) of agroforestry systems is 0.30 Mg C ha-1yr-1. It means, 34647 ha area of agroforestry can offset 38146.34 tonne CO2 annually at district level from agroforestry system.
