Sustainable Rice Farming Methane Emission Reduction Project

under implementation

The Good Rice Alliance (TGRA) is implementing a sustainable rice farming project in India aimed at reducing methane emissions from rice cultivation. The project involves more than 13,000 small farmers across 35,000 hectares in multiple states, adopting improved water-management practices such as Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) and Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) to reduce methane emissions. Amazon has entered into a long-term off-take agreement to purchase carbon credits generated from this initiative, covering more than 685,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent during the initial crediting phase.
