VISAKHAPATNAM: Gone are the days of only conventional income from agriculture. Nearly 500 farmers of north coastal Andhra Pradesh are now reaping the dividends of carbon credits that they earned through the environment-friendly agroforestry practices. In fact, all these are small and marginal farmers, raising these plantations on degraded lands.
Veda Climate Change Solutions Ltd., an enviro-social enterprise, is implementing a United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)-registered project in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts alongside three districts in Odisha.
