The third fact sheet in the Save and Grow series presents the key points of the Quezungual Slash-and-Mulch Agroforestry System, or QSMAS in Honduras. The system builds up soil nutrient stocks, and produces maize yields double those of traditional shifting cultivation.It reduces the time needed for land preparation, prevents soil erosion, and improves the supply and quality of water for downstream consumers. Many ‘slash-and-mulch’ farmers have diversified production, primarily into home gardens and livestock.

This document is a background paper for the discussions on Forest Ecosystem Services and financing Sustainable Forest Management. It provides some specific examples of market mechanisms for trading Forest Ecosystem Services in clean water provision, recreation opportunities, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation through forest-based carbon sequestration and product substitution.

L’étude a été menée à l’aide de la plateforme MOSAICC (Modelling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change) MOSAICC est une plateforme intégrée regroupant un ensemble de modèles et d’outils pour évaluer les impacts des changements climatiques à l’échelle nationale. Son architecture a été développée dans le but de permettre aux différents experts de collaborer à distance quel que soit leurs appartenance (ministères, universités, institutions de recherche) en utilisant leurs propres données.

El presente es un documento de antecedentes destinado a los debates relativos a los servicios ecosistémicos forestales y la financiación de la gestión forestal sostenible. En él se proporcionan algunos ejemplos concretos de mecanismos de mercado para comercializar servicios ecosistémicos forestales en lo que respecta al suministro de agua limpia, oportunidades para la recreación, la conservación de la biodiversidad y la mitigación de los efectos del cambio climático por medio de la sustitución de productos y la fijación de carbono basadas en los bosques.
