I am also a tree planter (another 200m of hedge/trees going in this winter), and I agree with you wholeheartedly, in fact woodland planted on grassland sequests less carbon than the grassland would, and if they are planted on peat, that is even worse. Ultimately the way to stop GHG emissions, is to buy less, fly less, consume less, and have less children. Oh and eat more meat too.
I think at the moment agroforestry is a bit trendy for arable farmers in the east with no hedges etc.
