Mirova Invests $30M in Varaha’s Kheti Project to Boost Soil Carbon and Regenerative Farming

Описание: Mirova has invested $30 million in Varaha's "Kheti" soil-carbon project, marking a major push into India's regenerative agriculture sector. This financing will help Varaha expand its carbon farming program from 25,000 to 337,000 smallholder farmers across Haryana and Punjab over the next four years. By incentivizing climate-smart practices like direct seeding of rice, reduced tillage, and crop-residue management, the project aims to sequester soil carbon and generate verified carbon credits. Farmers will share in the revenue through a transparent system supported by Varaha's digital monitoring and verification technology.
