Agriculture occupies a significant part of the Earth's land area and is one of the main sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. In the context of increasing climate aridity and desertification of Russian regions, as well as decreasing forest area, the search for balanced solutions for sustainable land use is an urgent issue. Aim. The aim of the research is to analyse the economic aspects of the agroforestry implementation in Russia, assessing its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the sustainability of the agrosphere. Methods. The work uses methods of comparative analysis of existing forest reclamation systems and agrofor-estry practices, assessment of land fund for the implementation of climate projects, and analysis of factors limiting the use of protective forest plantations for carbon sequestration. Results. It was found that the Russian systems of protective forest plantations in their current form do not pro-vide the necessary effect for the development of climate-oriented projects. The main advantages of agroforestry: syn-ergetic effect of combining forest and agricultural crops, additional economic income, high manageability have been identified. The potential of agroforestry in the formation of land fund for climate projects and its investment attrac-tiveness has been determined. Practical application. The results can be used by agricultural and nature management authorities to develop measures to integrate agroforestry and increase farm resilience, as well as by investors and climate project developers to select effective solutions for carbon sequestration and ecosystem services development.
