Low Emissions Development

CCAFS low emissions development aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration in the agriculture sector. Together with our partners, CCAFS produces research to improve estimates of farm emissions, emission reductions, and sequestration in smallholder systems; identify priorities and options for low emissions development that also support food security; and support widespread implementation of low emissions agriculture practices and policies.
