Carbon at Trees for the Future
Discover Trees for the Future's Lake Victoria Watershed Agroforestry Carbon Projects
Trees for the Future’s (TREES) Lake Victoria Watershed Agroforestry Carbon Projects aim to implement agroforestry with smallholder farmers in counties adjacent to the lake in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The Projects are being rolled out in different phases by country and by instance. Using VERRA’s VCS with CCB standards the project works with smallholder farmers working on less than 2 hectares to develop agroforestry projects that sustainability improve the productivity of the land and provide multi-benefits, including a benefit share of the monitored and verified VCUs.
About the Project
These projects involve training and implementing sustainable agroforestry practices with farmers to transform conventional agriculture land into diverse nature-based carbon sinks with above and below ground biomass and improved soils. Throughout this region, cropland is under low yield cultivation of grain crops In addition to creating VCUs, the sustainable agroforestry techniques and extension services provided to farmers ensure diversification of cropping systems, including horticulture crops and fruit and fodder trees. The projects will improve nutrition, increase income and resilience, develop the sustainable growing capability of the land, and enhance biodiversity in this critical watershed.
