Mitigation of agricultural emissions in the tropics: comparing forest land-sparing options at the national level
Emissions from agriculture-driven deforestation are of global concern, but forest land-sparing interventions such as agricultural intensification and utilization of available non-forest land offer opportunities for mitigation. In many tropical countries, where agriculture is the major driver of defo...
