Carbon Credits
Agriculture emits 10-12% GHGs to atmosphere
GHGs are CH4, N2O, CO2
CH4 is 25 times more harmful than CO2
N20 is 298 times more harmful than CO2
Traditional paddy cultivation is done on anaerobic anaerobic that emits more CH4
and N2O SRI is an aerobic method of paddy
cultivation Emits 4 times less CH4 and 5 times less N2O Research done in Sri Lanka, China, Nepal &
Vietnam Why shouldn’t SRI farmers get carbon
credits?

EXPECTATIONS
How to reach the smallholders (small, marginal & landless farmers)?
Community-based extension mechanism – for scaling-up SCI (SRI, SWI, and others)
SCI opportunities for a majority of the crops with natural farming
Systematic scientific research to develop SRI protocol for Carbon Credit compensation to smallholders
