LOAIZA LANGE, Toa  y  TORRICO, Juan Carlos. LULUCF projects under the CDM: an opportunity to increase food security in developing countries. CienciAgro [online]. 2009, vol.1, n.4, pp. 151-156. ISSN 2072-1404.

Global climate poses important challenges to the world in the near future, especially in poor developing countries where the effects will be stronger. The CDM under the IPCC is one of the most promising initiatives to reduce the amount of GHG and promote sustainable development. Never the less, potential to link these projects with urgent needs, as food security remains vague. The correct planning, execution and adaptation of LULUCF projects in developing countries can help to reduce the GHG emissions but also improve the health, nourishment and overall living conditions of rural communities in Non-Annex I countries
