Study Notes
Nature-Based Solutions in Agriculture and Forestry
- Nature-based Solutions (NbS) aim to enhance ecosystems' role in carbon sequestration by improving habitats like watersheds, wetlands, and coral reefs.
- Sustainable agriculture involves protecting the environment, expanding natural resources, and using nonrenewable resources efficiently.
- Regenerative agriculture reduces water and input use, prevents land degradation, and improves soil, biodiversity, and water resources.
- The top five principles of regenerative agriculture are minimizing soil disturbance, keeping soil covered, increasing plant diversity, keeping living roots in the soil, and integrating animals into the farm.
- Agroecology applies ecological science to sustainable agriculture, creating diversified agroecosystems that mimic natural systems.
- Conservation Agriculture prevents arable land losses, maintains permanent soil cover, minimizes soil disturbance, and enhances biodiversity and crop production.
- Agroforestry combines crops, trees, and animals, and fodder banks provide off-season livestock feed for smallholder farmers.
- Nature-based Solutions techniques in agriculture include cover crops, reduced-tillage practices, biochar, and agroforestry.
- Forest management techniques include natural forest management, reduced-impact logging, and promoting polycultures and native species.
- Aquaculture NBS techniques involve the cultivation of bivalve shellfish and seaweed to restore coastal habitats and enhance food production.
- Conservation Agriculture involves cultivating cover crops in fallow periods and promoting the integration of trees into agricultural lands.
- Grazing and ranching improvements include using improved livestock breeds, improved feed management, and sowing legumes in pastures for ecological benefits.
