Stabilizing the agricultural frontier: Leveraging REDD with biofuels for sustainable development

► We propose to link biofuel cultivation with forest conservation (REDD + Biofuels). ► A similar proposal to support reforestation on degraded landscapes (RDL + Biofuels). ► Woody perennial biofuel species on low biomass landscapes maximize carbon benefits. ► REDD+ revenues can subsidize and foster sustainable biofuels. ► Production of sustainable biofuels can strengthen REDD+ initiatives.
