Introduce agricultural practices that reduce/fix GHG and generate carbon credits, generating new revenue for farmers.
Purpose
By reducing or fixing GHG emissions from agricultural activities and converting these efforts into carbon credits, the profitability of agriculture can be improved and sustainable agriculture and food production can be continued.
Specifically, the introduction of water management systems in rice paddies will reduce methane emissions, and these efforts will be converted into voluntary credits such as VCS and GS to enable the continuation and spread of low GHG emission agricultural practices.
