Land-use systems (LUSs) in the agriculture urgently need to be revised to reduce greenhouse gases emissions (GHGs), and promote long-term sustainability. This study aimed to estimate the highest amount of CO 2 sequestration, carbon (C) stocks, and credit potential to mitigate climate change, and importantly identify a more sustainable LUS for income security, which can be easily adopted by farmers. The experiment was executed with the current year six LUSs: (1) legumes cereal wheat (Triticum aestivum) -based LUS (LCBLUS); (2) vegetable (cabbage -Brassica oleracea varcapitata) -based LUS (VBLUS) (farmer field); (3) guava (Psidium guajava) + linseed (Linum usitatissimum) -based LUS (GLBLUS); (4) custard apple (Annona reticulata) + barley (Hordeum vulgare) -based LUS (CABBLUS); (5) bael (Aegle marmelos) + mustard (Brassica juncea) -based LUS (BMBLUS), and (6) teak (Tectona grandis) -based forest LUS(TBFLUS) with four-times replicated in a randomized block design (RBD). The soil samples were collected at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depths from the study area at the start, and end of the experiment. Results revealed that the mean value of a bulk density (ρ b ) and particle density (ρ d ) was ranged from 1.38-1.54 Mg m À3 and 2.40-2.65 Mg m À3 , respectively. The mean value of pH and EC was ranged from 4.49-5.84 and 0.07-0.21 dsm -1 , respectively. Soil organic carbon (SOC) was ranged from 0.48%-0.76% and the total NPK stock range was from 51.69-58.97 Mgha -1 . The biomass accumulation, C stock, sequestration potential, and credit for six LUSs were
