Agro-forestry case studies www. teebweb. org/agriculture-and-
Agro-forestry: Scenarios and modelling • Scenarios include conversion of existing systems to heavy shade system, or growing alternative crops such as maize • The Water. World model was also used to model ecosystem services change – freshwater provision and runoff – increased water quality – above ground carbon stock – reduction of soil erosion
Agro-forestry valuation methods www. teebweb. org/agriculture-and-food/agroforestry
Agro-forestry valuation outcomes Ecosystem service Scenario 1: Scenario 2: Scenario 3: Converting to Maize monoculture (million $/y) Canopy cover ≥ 30% [due to REDD+ or certification incentive] (million $/y) Canopy cover ≥ 30% & expansion of agroforestry to all areas bar: (I) urban; (II) priority land use such as forests; and (III) wildlife reserves (million $/y) Increase in system extent (ha) -202, 342 0 +286, 852 Provisioning -38. 4 No change 73. 4 Coffee -115. 9 No change +143. 9 Maize +90. 5 No change -128. 3 Other ES (fuel wood, honey) -13. 0 No change +57. 9 Carbon regulation -435 +292 +655 Other regulating -19 +74. 5 +54. 3 Water yield -34. 9 +58. 6 +10. 7 Soil erosion +15. 9 +43. 6 www. teebweb. org/agriculture-and-food/agroforestry

Bhutan 1. TEEB Bhutan informs the Sustainable Hydropower Development Policy (2008) and the Alternative Renewable Energy Policy (2013), both of which call for a diversification of energy sources. 2. Each scenario designed to meet Bhutan’s 2020 energy goals (10, 000 MW).

Bhutan: Second Stakeholder Workshop 14 -17 March 2016 Data assessment and gap analysis: 6 sites
Bhutan: Second Stakeholder Workshop 14 -17 March 2016 What are the inter-linkages?
Bhutan: Second Stakeholder Workshop 14 -17 March 2016 Using spatial modelling/links to systems models 1. Land use changes due to hydropower development relates to environmental changes downstream 2. Land use changes upstream impact the quality of water delivered to hydropower stations i. ii. manage land use manage sediment loads Druk Power spends 16 million USD on turbine repair/other infrastructure as a result of sediment loading). 3. These spatial models will be linked to systems models which would include social and economic variables
