We at C-GEM believe that for #naturalfarming #transitions to become #longterm #sustainable #behaviorchange, our farmers & grassroot organizations would need all the support they can get! Much of this support has to be monetary to absorb livelihood risks @ to incentivize #change.

#naturalfarming #transitions can prove to be arduous undertakings & our #champions need support to #sustain this shift. This support can come from various streams. What kind of support do you think #farmers transitioning towards #naturalfarming need? Vote and comment! AKRSP-India

Based in #agroecology, #naturalfarming practices are least water #extractive & our #champions utilize simple innovative methods to harvest water for their irrigation needs. Read excerpts from Spreading Roots published by BhoomiKa & National Coalition for Natural Farming to know more!

Not only is the transition to #agroecology based farming #beneficial, in the current scenario where agriculture is already threatened by degrading lands, #desertification, #climatechange and #resource #scarcity, it is #critical. Connect with us at lnkd.in/deH5VHPq

We believe that we can leverage support from carbon markets for transitions to agroecology-based farming. Let's understand #carbonmarkets better!

Cap and trade, and voluntary offsets are two broad systems within the #CarbonMarkets structure. #Voluntaryoffsets markets can be a useful source of #finance for sustained #naturalfarming transitions generating benefits for both farmers and the ecosystem!

At C-GEM we determine additionality of a project by the criterion that carbon financing should support farmers during the transition & help them to not only adhere to - but also adopt more practices within - natural farming. #naturalfarming #carbonmarkets #carboncredits

#permanence in #carboncredits In order for a carbon project to have value in carbon markets, the emission removal/reduction should be permanent. This signifies long-lived and irreversible benefits to the ecosystem! #naturalfarming #agroecology #carbonmarkets

#leakage in the context of #carbonmarkets An example is when for agroforestry project trees are grown at one place and cleared at another to make way for agricultural land.
