Carbon Credits
Turn your regenerative farming practices into verified income. Earn ₹800 for every tonne of CO₂ you store in your soil.
What is a Carbon Credit?
A simple way to measure and earn from the carbon your farm stores
Simple Definition:
1 Carbon Credit = Permission to emit 1 tonne of CO₂
For Farmers:
1 Credit You Generate = 1 tonne of CO₂ your farm removed from atmosphere
Your Farm
You adopt regenerative farming practices like composting, crop rotation, and minimal tilling
Carbon Stored
Soil stores more carbon through increased organic matter and deeper root systems
You Earn ₹800
For every verified tonne of CO₂ stored, receive ₹800 additional annual income
6 Key Principles of Regenerative Farming
How regenerative agriculture stores carbon and builds healthier soil
Do Not Disturb
Minimize chemical and mechanical disturbance. Avoid excessive tilling and chemicals that kill soil microorganisms. This preserves soil structure and carbon stores.
Armor the Soil Surface
Use mulch, crop residues, and cover crops to protect soil. This prevents erosion, retains moisture, and adds organic matter which stores carbon.
Know Your Context
Understand local soil, water, and climate. Tailor practices to your environment. What works elsewhere may need adaptation for your farm.
Integrate Animals
Animals and plants enrich each other. Rotational grazing improves soil, spreads nutrients, and increases biodiversity. Both benefit from this integration.
Keep Living Roots in Soil
Year-round living roots through cover crops store carbon via photosynthesis. Plants feed carbon underground to build soil microbiomes and increase soil fertility.
Mix Species
Diversity boosts ecosystem resilience. Intercropping, agroforestry, and crop rotation increase biodiversity, improve soil health, and maximize carbon storage.
Why These Practices Matter?
Healthier Soil: More microorganisms, better structure, improved water retention
Higher Yields: Healthy soil produces more nutritious crops with better yields
Carbon Storage: Organic matter and root systems store carbon dioxide, reducing atmospheric CO₂
Additional Income: Verified carbon credits = ₹800 per tonne × your annual storage
How Soil Organic Carbon Increases
The science behind carbon storage in regenerative farming
Year 1-2: Foundation
• Reduce tilling and chemical inputs
• Add cover crops and mulch
• Build beneficial microbiomes
Carbon increase: 0.5-1 tonne/hectare
Year 3-5: Growth
• Soil biology thriving
• Root systems deepening
• Organic matter accumulating
Carbon increase: 1-1.5 tonnes/hectare/year
Carbon Storage Process
Photosynthesis
Plants capture CO₂ from air using sunlight
Root Transfer
Plants send 40-60% of carbon below ground
Soil Storage
Carbon becomes organic matter in soil
Long-term Sequestration
Carbon locked in soil for 10+ years
Measurement & Verification
Satellite Monitoring:
Regular satellite imagery tracks vegetation and soil health changes
Soil Sampling:
Annual lab testing measures soil organic carbon percentage
Credit Calculation:
Verified carbon storage converted to credits, with 80% paid annually, 20% reserved for certification
