99% people don't know that farmers can earn from clean air — not just crops.

If you or your family owns land and grow crops or fruits, you are already helping the planet.
Your trees and soil absorb carbon, and in today’s world, that has real financial value.

This value is called a Carbon Credit.

Big companies pollute.
Farmers purify.

To balance the pollution they cause, companies buy carbon credits from farmers.
This allows farmers to earn without leaving their farm, creating a new income stream alongside agriculture.

This market is exploding worldwide.
As economies grow → pollution rises → the need for carbon offset becomes huge.
Farmers who start early will benefit the most because demand is rising fast.

Once registered, your land earns verified carbon credits, and companies pay you for every tonne of carbon saved.

A clean environment.
A new income stream.
A smarter future for Indian farmers.

Step-by-Step Guide: How Farmers or Landowners Can Earn Carbon Credits

Step 1: Check Eligibility

You can participate if you:

  • Own agricultural land, orchards, plantations, or grazing land

  • Grow crops, fruits, or trees

  • Have land ownership or lease documents

Both small and large farmers are eligible, usually through aggregators.

Step 2: Register with a Verified Partner

To earn carbon credits, your farm must be enrolled in a verified program.

  • Register with a recognised partner or aggregator (public or private)

  • Farmers do not sell credits directly to companies

  • The partner manages verification, compliance, and sale of credits

Step 3: Submit Baseline Data

After registration, you must:

  • Share land details and location

  • Provide crop or plantation information

  • Submit existing farming practices

This establishes a baseline to measure future carbon savings.

Step 4: Adopt Climate-Smart Practices

You may be guided to follow climate-smart practices on your land, such as:

  • Tree plantation or agroforestry

  • Better soil management

  • Reduced chemical usage

  • Sustainable farming techniques

Many farmers are already doing this, so major changes are often not required.

Step 5: Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV)

Your land undergoes:

  • Measurement of carbon absorption

  • Reporting of environmental impact

  • Independent verification through audits, field checks, or satellite data

This ensures the credits are authentic and tradable.

Step 6: Carbon Credits Are Issued

Once verified:

  • Your land generates verified carbon credits

  • 1 carbon credit = 1 tonne of carbon saved or absorbed

  • Credits are officially recorded under the program

Step 7: Get Paid

  • Companies purchase these carbon credits

  • Farmers receive payments based on verified credits

  • Payments are usually made annually or per project cycle

This becomes a new, recurring income stream in addition to farming income.

Step 8: Continue and Earn More Over Time

  • The longer you stay enrolled, the more credits you can generate

  • Early adopters benefit as carbon credit prices rise

  • Demand is increasing globally every year

Final Outcome

Once registered, your land earns verified carbon credits and companies will pay you for every tonne of carbon saved.

A clean environment.
A new income stream.
A smarter future for Indian farmers.
