UP pays for carbon credits to farmers in advance to motivate them

Uttar Pradesh is pioneering agroforestry by providing advance payments to farmers for future carbon credits, incentivizing tree planting and conservation. Over 25,000 farmers have registered, receiving partial prepayments of around ₹10,000 each. This initiative aims to boost carbon sequestration, offering farmers additional income for maintaining tree growth over 30 years, and has expanded to thirteen forest divisions.
