Analysis

A VCS soil-carbon project in Karnataka, India, using organic and natural farming across 18 smallholder parcels, with a 10% buffer pool, no reversal events, and a VVB-confirmed additionality test. The project over-delivered relative to its ex-ante estimate for the first monitoring period, but the 0% leakage deduction (deemed negligible) and project-specific baseline introduce moderate conservatism gaps. Low extraction confidence and a handful of cross-document inconsistencies temper confidence in the record.
