Why is it important?

It is important because it explains a system which can produce energy without compromising food production.

Perspectives

It will help in analyzing bioenergy production and its use in the agroforestry system, particularly the actual contribution to food and energy provision by replacing traditional biomass use while harnessing socio-economic co-benefits. Moreover, the paper also contributes to strengthening the ability to adapt to the negative effects of climate change, as it provides the basis for better planning and management of resources, including soil, water and land use. The paper will allow to device policies that promote bioenergy pathways that are in line with adaptation needs.
