#Comment | In India, existing carbon credit projects listed under non-governmental entities need to be examined to ensure inclusivity and efficiency. ✍️ A. G. Adeeth Cariappa and Vijesh V. Krishna trib.al/VQlOyWf

Carbon farming, in which cultivation is aimed at lowering emissions or improving carbon sequestration, inadvertently excluded small landholding farmers, finds a study A. G. Adeeth Cariappa CIMMYT Manan Bhan ATREE Dr. A Amarender Reddy ✒️Simrin Sirur india.mongabay.com/2025/01/carbon…

Carbon farmers reported receiving almost no monetary benefits from carbon projects in Haryana and Madhya Pradesh, according to a new study. A. G. Adeeth Cariappa CIMMYT Manan Bhan ATREE Dr. A Amarender Reddy ✒️Simrin Sirur india.mongabay.com/2025/01/carbon…

“While these projects are still in the early stages, we wanted to highlight that they’re not socially inclusive of marginalised caste groups or small and marginal farmers, or even women for that matter,” says A. G. Adeeth Cariappa, of CIMMYT. ✒️ Simrin Sirur india.mongabay.com/2025/01/carbon…

Crop residue burning does more than pollute air-it destroys on-farm biodiversity critical for soil health, pest control&pollination Our new review in Science of the Total Environment calls for policies & carbon markets that reward biodiversity outcomes sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Vijesh Krishna CIMMYT

Residue burning in #SouthAsia’s rice-#wheat systems continues despite bans, harming the environment. #ConservationAgriculture offers a solution, but adoption is low. Discover actionable pathways in a recent CIMMYT policy brief. bit.ly/4lxySpD #SoilHealth #Biodiversity

Every winter, burning paddy stubble chokes India’s air - but that's just the visible damage. It destroys the living foundation of our farms: Earthworms, Pollinators, Pest predators, and Birds. Our new policy brief shows why policies must reward conservation rather than bans

Clear the air and bring life back to our farms! End stubble burning, reward biodiversity protection & make agriculture climate‑smart. A win for farmers, nature & everyone breathing. #ClimateAction #ConservationAgriculture #India Read our opinion online: thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/crop-b…
