Projects in Africa helping small farms make use of the carbon market can help reduce poverty, say researchers.

CGIAR Climate's insight:
The research was conducted by EcoAgriculture Partners and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). It focused on five aspects: project organisation and management, the structure and role of community groups within the projects, costs and benefits for managers and farmers, strategies to manage risks to farmers, and efforts to support women's participation. The participating projects included CARE International's Sustainable Agriculture in a Changing Climate, Vi Agroforestry’s, Clean Air Action Corporation’s (CAAC) and the International Small Group and Tree Planting Program (TIST), all in Kenya
