India's Voluntary Carbon Credit Market Gaining Attention

The voluntary carbon credit market in India’s agriculture sector is gradually gaining momentum, although it remains relatively nascent compared to other industries. This makes it an exciting field with substantial opportunities for growth. The value and recognition of agricultural projects within the carbon market, like those in other sectors, vary based on factors such as project scale, certification standards, associated co-benefits and market demand. The government recently launched the Framework for Voluntary Carbon Market in the agriculture sector.’ This framework is expected to simplify the process of entering domestic and international carbon markets for companies and support larger-scale projects.

How 'Framework for Voluntary Carbon Market' Will Benefit India?

The country's living environment is being harmed by modern Indian agriculture, which not only releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere but also pollutes the air and depletes water supplies. Moreover, an uneven and overabundance of fertilizer application may lower agricultural output and ultimately jeopardize the nation's food security. Thankfully, carbon farming has the potential to address each of these issues. Given its large agricultural area and ample potential for environmental enhancement, India is expected to emerge as the primary hub for carbon farming credits in the coming years.
