What happened
Mitti Labs announced a five-year carbon credit offtake agreement with Salesforce. The partnership aims to scale climate-smart rice farming across tens of thousands of smallholder farms in India. This method utilizes alternate irrigation, which can cut methane emissions by up to 50% and water usage by up to 40% without affecting yields. Mitti Labs plans to issue 2 million credits annually from its projects in India by 2028.

Why it matters
The agreement highlights growing corporate demand for satellite-verified rice methane credits as a scalable offset solution. Since agriculture is responsible for 40% of human-induced methane emissions, these commitments are relevant to the global climate finance market.
