In the developing world, smallholder farms are key to climate resilient, sustainable agriculture
Smallholder farmers are integral to sustainable agriculture, contributing to climate mitigation through soil carbon sequestration, methane reduction, and agroforestry. Techniques like AWD and DSR further enhance emission reductions while generating higher rice yields and incentives. Equipping these farmers with the necessary tools, knowledge, and market access is crucial to turning challenges into opportunities.
Advanced farming resources, digital platforms, and market access initiatives are driving this shift by empowering farmers to adopt climate-smart practices. Additionally, deployment of advanced technologies like remote sensing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML), ensures transparent validation of carbon credits, enhancing market trust. Such innovations enable smallholder farmers to participate effectively in carbon markets, creating credible, high-quality credits that contribute to global climate goals.
