There is no reliable and impartial intermediary to help producers find appropriate technologies, expertise, and advice to participate in carbon markets, take advantage of support programs, or become providers of other ecosystem services. There is a lack of assistance to help producers transition to agroecological practices. | There is a lack of reliable information, regional and local guidelines, and technical backup advice on good AFOLU practices that can create positive impacts. Furthermore, access to information on appropriate sustainable technologies and procedures for the given situation is limited, and there is no comprehensive database of experts/institutions, and practitioners. Additionally, investors and practitioners lack interaction for carbon sequestration, ecosystem services, and ecological restoration/ conservation. Additionally, there is a deficiency of common platforms, events, coordination among stakeholders, and publicity. | There is no interface for collaboration between scientists, experts, and practitioners. Access to and disseminating knowledge and technologies in sustainable land management, ecosystem services, and carbon sequestration is low. The efforts on these issues will remain scattered, and no opportunity to build upon the past experiences and lessons learned will emerge. There is little adoption of sustainable practices in land management, ecosystem services, and carbon sequestration. All the above will result in further aggravation of the problem of soil fertility depletion, low crop yields, and deteriorating ecosystems.
