 Potential of Agroforestry in India

  • Agroforestry can significantly enhance carbon stocks, contributing to India's climate goals.

  • Current agroforestry covers 28.4 million hectares, with potential to grow to 53 million hectares by 2050.

  • Could provide over 2.5 billion tons of CO2 equivalent carbon sink by 2030 with proper policies and support.

  • Promotes soil fertility, water retention, and reduces erosion, improving overall agricultural productivity.

  • Offers alternative livelihoods and additional income streams for small and marginal farmers.


Challenges Posed by Current "Common Practice" Criterion in Carbon Standards

  • “Common practice” criteria may exclude projects that are typical in India, as they are based on large-scale agricultural norms from other regions.

  • Small Landholdings: 86.1% of Indian farmers have less than two hectares, practicing agroforestry in non-systematic, fragmented ways.

    • Many farmers' practices may not qualify for carbon credits under current standards, limiting their financial opportunities.

    • Current criteria fail to recognize the unique agricultural landscape in India, hindering participation in carbon finance.

    Importance of International Carbon Finance Platforms

    • Platforms like Verra and Gold Standard can enable funding for  Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR)  initiatives that support sustainable farming.

  • Updating carbon standards to reflect India’s fragmented farming practices can unlock potential for millions of farmers.

  • Inclusion in carbon finance projects can provide additional income sources, enhancing livelihoods for rural households.

  • Financial incentives can encourage systematic agroforestry practices, contributing to environmental resilience.

  • Collaboration with international standards can lead to effective solutions for climate challenges and rural development in India.
