ArticleJournal articleConservation of green blue carbon ecosystem: Local perceptions and awareness on mangrove forest
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Management of blue carbon ecosystems including mangrove and seagrass beds is necessary to reduce the global carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change, in addition to the managements of terrestrial forest ecosystem. The scheme of the REDD+, which is Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation, plus the sustainable management of forests, and the conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks, has been used for the managements of different types of forests and related ecosystems. The concepts of REDD+ can be applied for the blue carbon ecosystems. In recent academic literatures, the discussion of the application of REDD+ is increasing, considering the characteristics of the management of blue carbon ecosystems. The management of blue carbon ecosystems need the various stakeholders’ collaboration, because they are in the border of different ecosystems including terrestrial and coastal ones, where different types of livelihoods and industries co-exist. To identify the status of discussions of REDD+ for blue carbon ecosystems, literature review on REDD+ and blue carbon ecosystem management was conducted by using quantitative text mining approaches. Regarding the local perceptions and awareness on mangrove forest, a case study in the Philippines was conducted. In concrete terms, household surveys to the locals in Eastern Samar were implemented to identify their perceptions and awareness. The analysis result can contribute to science-policy interface by providing the following information; resource utilization, level of awareness on ecosystem services and existing management plans, and perceptions on natural and anthropogenic threats. It reveals that social demography and level of awareness of the locals are factors which influence status of utilization of mangrove ecosystem services. Those result can be used as an evidence of policy making and facilitate the application of conservation schemes considering the local context of the study site.

ArticleJournal articleCarbon Storage Potential of Mangrove Forest in Quezon Province, Philippines
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Tropical forests play an important role in climate change as sources and sink of carbon. Thus, mangrove forests have significant role in mitigating the climate change problem. The study aimed to measure the amount of accumulated biomass in a mangrove forest; determined the amount of carbon storage in the above-ground biomass and belowground of the area; and ssessed the potential contribution of mangrove forest to the mitigation of climate change. Results of the study showed that the mangrove area has a mean biomass carbon density of 189.53 Mg/ha where the entire amount is contributed only by tree biomass. Soil however, accounted to 51.92 Mg/ha of carbon density. Total carbon density of the area including aboveground (tree) biomass and belowground (soil) has amounted to 241.45 Mg/ha. Highest amounted was accounted by the aboveground which is 78 percent and the remaining 22 percent was in belowground.Using the results obtained in this study, the Philippine mangrove forest can store 28 M tons of carbon. This implies that mangrove can offer a great potential carbon sink. Keywords: Carbon storage, above-ground biomass, carbon density ID: 3487146 -
ArticleJournal articleStand biomass and carbon stock of bamboo gigantochloa nigrociliata (Buse) kurz on community plantations, Bali, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Bamboo is essential ecologically and has a significant role in community livelihood in Indonesia, especially Bali. Tabah bamboo (Gigantochloa nigrociliata Buse-Kurz) is one of the bamboo species that grows in Bali. Communities in Gianyar and Tabanan Districts, with the support PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk – KEHATI foundation begin cultivating Tabah bamboo as efforts for biodiversity preservation and economic value-added. Currently, it is widely acknowledged that biodiversity and climate change are interrelated. Efforts to preserve Tabah bamboo through the cultivation it supports give a prominent contribution to mitigation and adaptation of climate change. An assessment of potential carbon stocks on Tabah bamboo was carried out in Gianyar and Tabanan Districts using non-destructive and destructive sampling methods to determine its carbon stock. The non-destructive measurement was carried out to 100 clumps from five planting locations, while the destructive sampling was carried out for 14 bamboo culms. Bamboo culms were sampled based on maturity, divided into saplings, young bamboo, and mature bamboo. Tabah bamboo has an organic carbon content of ± 45.61% of its biomass, which results in the average carbon stock amounted to ±33.7 kg C/clumps in Gianyar District and ± 29.7 kg/clumps in Tabanan District. These carbon stocks are equivalent to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is absorbed and stored as 124 kg CO2-e/clumps and 109 kg CO2-e/clumps in Gianyar and Tabanan Districts, respectively. Not only contributing to the environment, cultivating Tabah bamboo also provides direct economic benefits.Keywords: community, economic, climate change, Tabah bamboo characteristics, carbon stockID: 3486626

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
