Amazon Partners with The Good Rice Alliance for Carbon Credits, Boosting Climate-Smart Agriculture
Amazon has entered into a long-term agreement with The Good Rice Alliance (TGRA) to purchase over 685,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent carbon credits. This partnership focuses on reducing methane emissions from rice cultivation in India, a significant source of agricultural methane emissions. TGRA, backed by Bayer, GenZero, and Shell, works with smallholder farmers to implement sustainable practices like Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) and Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) to reduce methane emissions. The initiative aims to improve farmer livelihoods while contributing to climate change mitigation.
