Estimate to evaluate carbon capture with REDD Abacus SP and GIS tool
Track: Agriculture
Authors: Glenn Hyman, Silvia Castaño

This presentation discusses the use of geographic information science and technology to support an analysis of the feasibility of programs to reduce emissions and sequester carbon in the landscape. We present assessments of land-use change, carbon stocks and farm profitability at farm- and regional-scale for the Eastern plains of Colombia. We demonstrate the use of GIS as a data integration and management tool and a source of analysis tools for making a feasibility study of potential programs
