Measurement, Reporting, and Verification of GHG Emission Reductions

Agricultural practices are causing over 50% of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, about 7% of these are a result of rice farming. To address this challenge, the SNV programme “Transforming Rice Value Chains for Climate Resilient and Sustainable Development” (TRVC) aims to identify novel approaches for reducing GHG emissions and increasing smallholder farmers (SHFs)’ profits in rice cultivation in Vietnam. The project’s objective is to employ a results-driven financing approach to motivate private businesses operating within the rice value chain (RVC) to expand their investments in advancing sustainable rice cultivation among SHFs (2022-2027). Unique was commissioned by SNV for measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) in the verification process of GHG emission reductions resulting from participating rice enterprises and SHFs.
