There is lot of emphasis on expansion of green cover or trees on farms (asfForest being common resources even after so conservation laws and efforts forest degradation and deforestation is still on) through agroforestry and tree farming can be a cheaper solution for mitigating climate change effects. If so why in UNFCC only 10-15% projects on A/R under carbon credits framework? If developing countries opting for CDM projects under A/R categories to reach out poor farmers in tropics, rules need to be made simpler and affordable fees for registration for carbon finance. Why only corporate plantations are having edge in projects. How farmers friendly tree farming policies at national level harmonized with climate change & UNFCC.
Yes! See a example in this paper:

There are additional reasons, soil stabilisation on slopes being high among them

Thanks Arvind , Luis and Paul. I will go through those papers.
