Example text
We must take the best of the indigenous, traditional, and farmers’ knowledge, forged over centuries of trial and error, and submit it to empirical, scientific, and rigorous evaluation. • We must also put our modern, technological prowess under a fresh lens and more wide-ranging scrutiny. It must be subject to broader cost benefit analysis alongside delivering a wider suite of societal and environmental goals. • Above all, we must bring the best of these worlds together and deploy them in both an integrated and flexible way that recognizes the different circumstances and conditions of the communities they serve.
Agroforestry activities, if carried out in the right locations, will bring about means of adapting to the impacts of climate change. , can be absorbed through whatever we grow as a part of agroforestry programs. It is important to look at not only the direct benefits of agroforestry to mitigation of emissions of GHGs but also the cobenefits that are not always apparent. In any economic decision-making and in any enlightened approach to deal with problems faced by human society, we must examine the totality of costs and benefits.
The current practice of sinking more and more bore holes in the tropics totally disregards the needs in the future. Second, in the discussions on environmental resilience, the resilience of the environment to a given set of conditions is given prominence. That is a very different thing from environmental resilience. For example, it may have been alright to talk about environmental resilience with confidence when the global population was at a maximum of one billion. But today the population of Homo sapiens is more than seven billion, and there is little doubt that it will be around ten billion soon.
