Four types of AFOLU projects activities are eligible under the VCS Program:

• Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation (ARR)
• Agricultural Land Management (ALM)
• Improved Forest Management (IFM)
• Reducing Emissions from Deforestation (RED)

A guidance document has been developed for these project activities. The guidance document will be incorporated into the next release of the VCS 2007 in the first quarter of 2008. In advance of this release, interested parties can use this guidance document to assist in the development of VCS-compliant AFOLU projects and methodologies.

The expert work to develop the innovative VCS rules for AFOLU projects was made possible through the generous financial and technical support of the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture.
