Farmers earn ₹2.5 crore through carbon credit scheme for sustainable practices

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, farmers have earned ₹2.5 crore through carbon credits by adopting sustainable agricultural practices. The scheme rewards farmers for implementing methods that reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental conservation.

The carbon credit programme recognises farmers' efforts in shifting towards eco-friendly farming techniques, offering them a direct financial incentive. This move combines agricultural development with climate action, enabling rural communities to benefit economically from sustainable practices.
