Resumen
Descripción
The Kenya agricultural carbon project is
breaking new ground in designing and implementing climate
finance projects in the agricultural sector. The project is
regarded as an innovative example for climate-smart
agriculture within and outside the World Bank. For the first
time, while increasing productivity and enhancing resilience
to climate change, smallholder farmers in Africa will
receive payments for greenhouse gas mitigation based on
sustainable agricultural land management. Quantification of
carbon sequestration is monitored based on a newly developed
carbon accounting methodology. This smart lesson describes
the key factors to take into consideration when facilitating
the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices and
access to carbon markets for smallholder farmers.
