The document discusses the need to address land degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, and food insecurity through sustainable land use and carbon markets. It notes that 65% of cropland in Africa and 51% in Latin America is degraded while tropical deforestation accounts for 20-25% of global carbon emissions. Agroforestry is presented as a tool to reduce degradation and increase carbon sequestration through deliberately integrating trees into agricultural systems. Carbon markets are also proposed as an incentive to support sequestration in soils and vegetation. The document advocates reducing land degradation while improving food security and cutting anthropogenic carbon through these sustainable land use and emissions trading approaches.
