GS12572 VPA-11 Regenerative Agriculture Initiative in Ghana
Gold Standard · GS23224 · Ghana
About this project
Reduced tillage minimizes soil disturbance, thereby preserving soil organic carbon and reducing CO2 emissions. Additionally, the application of bio-stimulants, such as organic amendments and microbial inoculants, improves soil fertility and promotes carbon sequestration, further reducing the carbon footprint of rice farming. These practices not only mitigate CO2 emissions but also enhance the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change. By transitioning from continuous flooding to regenerative practices, the project aims to reduce the estimated greenhouse gas emissions by 25,675 tCO2e annually.
