Climate Academy Guide: Part 5 - On-farm Forestry

Trees play an important role in climate change in that they can help mitigate it by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. This video covers on-farm tree management and the benefits of shade trees in a coffee plantation.
About the Climate Academy Guide
This video is the fifth of an 8-part series adopted from the Climate Academy Guide (fairtradeafrica.net/manuals/), a manual developed by Fairtrade Africa with the support of Fairtrade Netherlands, the Dutch Postcode Lottery, and the expert input of Coffee Research Institute. The guide is designed to provide practical information, equipping farmers with skills and insights to conduct environmental risk and opportunity assessments on their farms, identify the extent to which they are exposed to the effects of climate change, and further determine the most effective approaches to mitigate the impact. The contents of the Climate Academy Guide may be adopted to teach coffee farmers around the world about climate change adaptation and mitigation.
