Developing voluntary carbon market projects for agroforestry plantations in five selected districts of Punjab
August 27, 2020
| Environment
The State of Punjab is an agriculture intensive state with traditional rice-wheat cropping system that has contributed towards food security of the country. However, the productivity of this system has declined in certain areas due to various reasons. Agroforestry has emerged as one of the viable alternatives for diversification from existing rice-wheat rotation. Agroforestry can contribute more than 2 billion tons of CO2e by 2030 if government provides them Minimum Support Price (MSP) of timber produced by farmer.
