If all the world’s arable were converted to Agroforestry we could sequester all of the C02 emitted since the industrial revolution in less than 50 years.
We must look for ecological solutions to ecological problems
Biodiverse Farming holds enormous potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Yet this is not all. Trees have a mediating effect on temperature extremes. They create shade and transpiration, protect against evaporation and increase water infiltration and retention which can mitigate floods and drought.

Rising temperatures and more extreme weather events would make the planet less hospitable for many living things. Biodiverse Farming systems improve the climate resilience of the places they are located. They create habitats for many animals and support abundance food sources that can support a thriving food web beyond the farm.
We must look for ecological solutions to ecological problems. Biodiverse Farming can help mitigate climate change while supporting biodiversity, water availability and temperature extremes. The very things which climate change puts at risk.
