Climate, biodiversity & farmers benefit from rubber agroforestry: report
by Erik Hoffner on 29 June 2021
Rubber plantations have been a main historical cause of tropical deforestation, and are generally responsible for a range of environmental and social ills.
But rubber grown in agroforestry systems–in combination with fruit and timber trees, useful shrubs, medicines, and herbs–is shown by a new report to increase ecosystem services and biodiversity, while sequestering carbon and diversifying farmers’ incomes.
Additional to providing shelter and forage for a range of species, rubber trees are not shown to suffer yield declines due to implementation of the more sustainable method.
