This submission highlights ways in which the potential of agricultural mitigation in general, and from smallholder agriculture in particular, may be realized under a future global climate change agreement. It addresses quantifying mitigation and dealing with uncertainty issues associated with soil carbon sequestration, enabling institutional and policy environments required to link carbon finance to mitigation from smallholder agricultural sector and modalities/mechanisms needed to effectively link carbon finance to agricultural sources of mitigation, including financing options for agriculture, including smallholder agriculture. The focus of the submission is on soil carbon sequestration in view of its high mitigation potential, relevance to smallholders, and its current exclusion from the CDM.
