Individual Farmers
Farmers of any scale who cultivate their own land and wish to generate carbon revenue alongside their existing agricultural activities.
Smallholder Farmers
Farmers with landholdings under 2 hectares who form the backbone of rural India's agricultural economy and carbon project supply.
Medium & Large Farmers
Farmers with larger landholdings who can participate at scale and generate significant carbon credit volumes from land use changes.
Agricultural Landowners
Landowners who may not cultivate directly but hold title to agricultural land suitable for agroforestry, afforestation, or soil carbon projects.
