Varaha uses nature-based payments to incentivize transitions to climate (and soil) smart practices. Through partners, they train farmers on a suite of practices that both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will improve productivity in the long-term. Varaha corroborates their emission reduction models with remote monitoring and in-field validation, and then distributes payments to farmers.
