Preventing forest fires? Yet another job for agroforestry!
Remember? Before we had viruses to make our lives hell, the world worried about forest fires. As we know, it turns out that the best way of avoiding most of them is to turn forests into silvopastoral systems, i.e. to graze livestock in them.
Not only does this remove fuel from the forest floor and turn it into something tasteful and nutritious called "meat", but it also locks an enormous amount of atmospheric carbon into the soil. So much so, in fact, that it is one of the biggest drawdown tools at our disposal.
