Description The percentage of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere is increasing at an alarming rate which caters to further global warming and climate change which affects the livelihood of the bottom of pyramid. In the context of India the industrialization started after our independence which had made India today as one of the fastest growing economies, but on the other side we are one of the countries which emit most of the greenhouse gases.
From the Kyoto protocol, the developed countries can invest in projects that reduce the carbon emission in developing countries through AKRSP(I), AKRSP(I) is an NGO started in Bihar funded by European Commission with commitment to bring changes in the lives of the poor people. From 2007 AKRSP(I) is working in two districts of Bihar reaching more the 20 thousand poor families. Its main projects are promoting SWI and SRI method of cultivation to increase the rice production among farmers. So, AKRSP(I) has recognized the livelihood project that they promote can take as means to create carbon credit through which can be sold in world market.
This report involves the preparatory phase of farmers of Bochaha block of Muzaffarpur district, who cultivate rice through SRI method which reduces the greenhouse gas emission which high in the traditional paddy cultivation. This study also brings out the farmers perception regarding the SRI methodology adoption and their view regarding the organic farming and fertilizer usage. VRP (village resource person) who acts as ground level motivator of farmers to adopt SRI is interviewed and their views are shown in the report with regard to difficulties at the ground level in SRI adoption.The preliminary emission estimation from the traditional and SRI method of paddy cultivation has been calculated and the potential of credit that can be generated in the area for the study was conducted had been shown in the monetary terms. Finally this report shows the preparatory phase at the ground level to generate carbon credit through enhancing the livelihood of marginal farmers for whom SRI practice has been introduced through AKRSP(I)
