Alternate wetting and drying is a climate-resilient rice farming solution and pathway to carbon credit markets When applied to rice farming, AWD promotes efficient water use and significantly reduces methane emissions from paddy fields. Alternating wet and dry soil conditions foster aerobic processes and suppress the activity of anaerobic microorganisms, the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in flooded fields. Emission reductions are achieved through precise cultivation techniques and strict monitoring procedures, from controlling water levels to determining optimal irrigation timing. This model lowers emissions and allows for measurable outcomes that can be converted into carbon credits. It incentivises farmers to maintain and expand the model while building a bridge between agricultural production and sustainable markets committed to emission reduction. Provinces like Nghe An can progressively develop emission reduction verification systems...
