Market Overview

The Indian low carbon farming market refers to the industry focused on the section of agriculture focusing on lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and boosting carbon sequestration through sustainable techniques. It comprises farming methods, technologies, and policies aiming to minimise agriculture's carbon footprint while enhancing productivity, resilience, and farmer incomes. Regenerative agriculture is a comprehensive approach to land management that prioritises soil health, biodiversity, water retention, and carbon sequestration. The strategy includes several practices, such as no-till and vertical farming, cover cropping, crop rotation, livestock integration, and agroforestry, all customised to the farm's individual ecological situation. The primary goal is to generate a living soil rich in organic matter and microbial activity, capable of sustaining healthy plant growth while also contributing to a more stable environment.

Kerala is set to roll out a major low-carbon rice farming initiative through a three-day workshop titled “Catalysing Transitions to Low-Emission Rice-Based Systems in Kerala”. The program, hosted at Kerala Agricultural University in Thrissur, is part of the Kerala Climate Resilient Agri-Value Chain Modernisation Project (KERA), supported by the World Bank.

Mirova (an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers) announced a $30 million investment in India's Kheti soil carbon project, which Varaha developed. This is Mirova's largest carbon transaction to date, and its first carbon investment in India, supporting smallholder farmers in adopting regenerative agriculture practices.
