Viet Nam has committed to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions by 8 percent by 2030. Agroforestry can help Viet Nam live up to this commitment while simultaneously improving livelihoods and restoring landscapes. Agroforestry is the integration of trees, crops and/or animals on the same land. For example, commodity crops with shade trees, forest enrichment and diversified homegardens. World Agroforestry (ICRAF) estimates the total agroforestry area in Viet Nam to be about 900,000 hectares and that 10 million hectares are suitable for agroforestry. A recent ICRAF study indicates that the biomass carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems could reach 2.25 tonnes carbon per hectare every year based on a 10-year assessment.
