Challenges

Many agricultural projects involve smallholder farmers with fragmented land holdings. Aggregating these small plots into meaningful carbon projects can be complex.

Gathering accurate and comprehensive data on individual farmers, their land holdings, and agricultural practices can be challenging.

Overlapping farm boundaries may result in duplicated data, leading to inaccuracies in carbon accounting and project evaluation.

Data Collection can be time consuming and resource intensive.

Tracking of irrigation schedules can be cumbersome and inaccurate.

Network connectivity challenges for collection of data through mobile apps.

Continuous monitoring and reporting of activities is challenging.

Training and Technical support to farmers.

Scalability of Projects
