Carbon #sequestration in #agroforestry 
is a hot topic.
Here we provide #openaccess guidelines to improve the quantification & reporting of carbon stocks in #soils & #biomass & additional #carbon storage in agroforestry systems, and to maximize manuscript acceptance.
We also provide a checklist, for both authors & reviewers, of compulsory and recommended variables before submission of an original study related to this topic.
A fine new #OpenAccess paper by my colleagues at NCF #ncfindia jointly with #agroforestry owners/managers, highlighting the potential of shade #coffee agroforests as native plant and seed sources to support #EcologicalRestoration and diversifying native saplings for agroforests themselves. This also holds the potential for more ethical seed and seedling sourcing and reducing the native seed collection impacts/dependence on #forest remnants.

Northey Street City Farm in #BrisbaneAustralia
"We consider the vital connection to the elements of nature to be integral to learning and offer practical skills that can be utilised every day in your own garden space or working environment. Being based in the Magical #Bundjalung Country - the Northern Rivers 'Rainbow Region' of Northern #NewSouthWales, Australia, 'Growing Roots' offers a huge range of functional and cutting edge experimental #permaculture systems for students to explore. From the intensive, highly productive market gardens of ‘The Farm’ at Byron Bay through to Rural #FoodForests, #Agroforestry Systems, #BushTukka Gardens and the Great Wilderness of our Subtropical and Cool Temperate Rainforests, the teachings of nature - and humans creative dance within it - are vast and profound. We utilise the following 12 principles of Permaculture."

#Agroforestry is often discussed in terms of its benefits for biodiversity & diversified production. However, it can also support sustainable diets. Khant Sandar Htet showcases her study on the nexus of agroforestry & dietary diversity in Myanmar in #PeopleNatureLandscapesBlog. https://medium.com/people-nature-landscapes/the-pathways-towards-dietary-diversity-of-myanmars-dry-zone-7eae71666276
He Spoke for the Trees (and Also the Soil)
A champion of agroforestry, J. Russell Smith argued for the restoration of forests as key to sustainable agriculture in his seminal work Tree Crops.

The Food Farm - Agroecology Map
"The Food Farm is a 16 acre #organic small farm in the Waipara Valley, North Canterbury #NewZealand.
Our property has been designed using permaculture principles and we produce most of our own food.
We help people achieve their food-growing goals. We're based on our organic #permaculture property in North Canterbury, #Aotearoa NZ."

A #UHManoa study finds converting Hawaiʻi’s unused farmland to #agroforestry could enhance #carbon storage, reduce fire risks, support local #food production, and revive #Indigenous #land management, aiding the state’s 2045 carbon neutrality goal. #permaculture #environment #hawaii #revolution
