FLock.io (@flock_io): For millions of smallholder rice farmers in India, carbon markets remain out of reach.

For millions of smallholder rice farmers in India, carbon markets remain out of reach. Verification is expensive, time-consuming, and controlled by intermediaries — leaving farmers excluded from the value they create. 🇮🇳 Under the @UNDP #SDGBlockchainAccelerator, we’re developing a blockchain-based MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) system with NovaChat for UNDP India that tracks field practices, quantifies emission reductions, and automates proof submission. By automating MRV and ensuring transparent data flow, this system enables farmers to directly access carbon credit income — turning climate-smart agriculture into a sustainable livelihood opportunity. 🌾 SDG Alignment: SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 13 (Climate Action) (Partners: @UNDP, @ChainforGood, @EMURGOLabs, @StellarOrg and @SuiFoundation - with catalytic funding from @Cardano's treasury via @Catalyst_onX)
