It will help farmers adopt practices that may not be affordable by small farmers otherwise.
Hi,
I think the primary financial benefits that accrued to smallholders from participating in these projects are associated with their access to technical information, training and inputs, and not cash payments for carbon. The sustainable land management practices supported by these projects not only increased yields, but diversified incomes, increased fodder and fuelwood production, and enhanced farmers’ resilience to climate change through mprovements in soil health.
It will help farmers only when the government make use of carbon trading and make provision of high incentives for promotion of carbon farming viz. agroforestry, horticulture, organic farming and dairy etc. and ensure premium prices of carbon farming products in sustainable manner.
