Carbon strategy for Agriculture & FPOs
The biggest active opportunity in the voluntary market
Agriculture is where the voluntary carbon market is most active for India right now. Unlike the compliance market, offset and removal mechanisms for agriculture, agroforestry, forestry and land use are live today. Practices such as reduced tillage, cover cropping, agroforestry, efficient irrigation and better nutrient management cut emissions and earn credits. As a sister concern of Agpro Consulting, we run farmer-centric programmes built on real practice change, affordable MRV and transparent benefit-sharing.

FAQ
Agriculture & FPOs & carbon — questions answered
Yes. The voluntary carbon market for agriculture, agroforestry and land use is active today, independent of the CCTS compliance market’s timelines. Credits are typically aggregated through FPOs or developers because the cost of measurement and verification is shared across many farms, and a credible programme depends on real practice change and robust MRV.
FPOs aggregate many small farms into a single project, spreading the fixed costs of enrolment, MRV and verification and giving farmers collective bargaining power on credit sales. We structure the aggregation, MRV and benefit-sharing so the economics work and farmers receive a fair, transparent share of the revenue.
