MRV support to CIFF's investment towards Low Carbon Agriculture project

Export citation

The Low Carbon Agriculture (LCA) project was aimed to pilot and scale up LCA practices among 18,000 farmers across three agro-ecological zones in India: Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and UttarPradesh. The impact of the project was assessed through key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the adoption rate of LCA practices, dis-adoption of high carbon agriculture (HCA) practices, changes in soil health, and socioeconomic well-being. Data collection for this assessment was conducted in pilot intervention villages using the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) and farm family and village level surveys.
