Agroforestry for Adaptation and Ecosystem Resilience

Climate change poses significant risks to agriculture, such as droughts, flooding, and pests. Agroforestry offers a resilient solution at both the farm and landscape levels by reducing air pollution, enhancing microclimates, and improving water security. It supports several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting sustainable food production, climate change adaptation, and land restoration. Agroforestry also provides diverse ecosystem services, boosts food security, and reduces gender inequalities in farming.

The IPCC’s 6th Assessment Report emphasizes the severe impacts of human-induced climate change on agriculture and food systems, highlighting the urgent need for effective adaptation and mitigation strategies. Ecosystem-based approaches such as land restoration and agroforestry are recommended to enhance food production and ecosystem health, ensuring stability in yields. This special issue further explores adaptation strategies, discussing their feasibility and effectiveness, along with socio-economic considerations for achieving climate-resilient development.
