Agroforestry, a land management system that integrates trees, crops, and livestock, has emerged as a promising strategy for climate change mitigation and sustainable development. This journal article explores the potential of agroforestry in sequestering carbon, conserving biodiversity, improving soil health, and enhancing livelihoods. Drawing on recent approaches to agroforestry on pilot in selected communities in the Gambia, this article highlights the multifaceted benefits of agroforestry and provides insights into its role in building resilience to climate change, improve mitigation and fostering environmental sustainability. Policy recommendations and future research directions are also discussed to promote the adoption of agroforestry as a viable solution to address the challenges posed by climate change.
