Analysis

A newly registered VCS soil-carbon project for Indian smallholder farmers with a verified combined additionality test and a 12% buffer pool, but the validation report flagged eight 'insufficient' findings (including leakage and non-permanence justification) and two Forward Action Requests remain open. No verified monitoring data is available yet, and the 0% leakage deduction rests on a 'deemed negligible' justification that the VVB itself found insufficiently demonstrated. The project is early in its crediting period, so several gaps are expected to resolve with monitoring, but the volume of validation findings warrants caution.
