    How can #REDD+ compete with the profitability of #agriculture? Should the main focus not be on increasing productivity in agriculture?

    ...and if there is increasing productivity in agriculture, will that not lead to pressure for more land to be used for #agriculture? #REDD+

    At smaller scales, private #REDD+ demand can be relevant. Makes for nice pilots, but not for real reduced emissions benefits at scale. @IIED
