Abstract

As our climate continues to warm and its impacts become more frequent and severe, farmers and farming communities worldwide will face increasing challenges. The combination of advancing climate change and an already vulnerable industrial system is a "perfect storm" that threatens farmers' livelihoods and our food supply. This research aims to analyze the experiences of tropical Latin American countries in introducing agroforestry systems as an alternative for sustainable development and climate change mitigation. Agroforestry systems offer a sustainable development alternative because they increase farmers' profit margins and provide various ecosystem services, the most important being carbon sequestration.
