Land-use change and forestry programmes: evidence on the effects on greenhouse gas emissions and food security
3ie Evidence Gap Map Report 3, 2016
This report presents the findings of an evidence gap map that assesses the evidence available on the effects of land-use change and forestry programmes on greenhouse gas emissions and human welfare outcomes. Our clearest finding is that there is a major gap in the evidence addressing effects on both emissions and human welfare outcomes, including food security. Moreover, few studies measured greenhouse gas emissions or food security directly.
