Fact Sheets: Good Practices for Climate-Smart Agriculture

The report presents strategies and technologies to implement sustainable practices that contribute to climate change mitigation. Several practices are highlighted, such as conservation agriculture, which includes no-till, permanent soil cover and crop rotation, with the aim of improving soil health, reducing erosion and increasing carbon sequestration. The restoration of natural forests and their role in reducing CO2 emissions and strengthening ecosystem services is also addressed. In addition, the document mentions the recovery of pastures and sustainable coffee production as key practices to improve carbon sequestration in the soil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, the management of well-managed pastures and the adoption of agroforestry systems in coffee cultivation help reduce the carbon footprint.ca
