The project is an ARR-based agroforestry carbon finance initiative implemented across six districts of Gujarat to enhance tree cover, improve farm productivity, and support rural livelihoods. Given the state’s relatively low forest cover, the project promotes the integration of commercially viable tree species into existing agricultural and barren lands. Led by Shri Hari Bhujal Vikas Mandal (SHBVM), the initiative supports farmers through quality planting material and technical assistance, while enabling additional income through carbon credit generation.
