Climate Change Mitigation Role of Agricultural,
Rural and Land Use sector 1/1
Where do GHG emissions come from in the
agricultural, rural and land use sector?
Biomass and waste
Household cooking
Agricultural waste
Land degradation
Animal waste
Deforestation
8
Climate Change Mitigation Role of Agricultural,
Rural and Land Use sector 2/2
Reducing emissions by reducing fertilizer
use anaerobic digestion of waste avoiding
deforestation modifying livestock
management using renewable energy improving
energy efficiency increasing sequestration or
conservation of carbon

Carbon Markets Overview
11
Rebuilding resilience through mitigation Case
study grazing management. Zimbabwe
CC benefits
Increased resilience, soil conservation, less
erosion, increase in below-ground carbon
sequestration
After grazing plan implemented by Africa Centre
for Holistic Management.
Win-Win
Positive effects on forage yields, improvement
livestock production and financial returns
