Mitti Labs and Salesforce Partner to Expand Methane-Reducing Rice Farming in India
Mitti Labs has entered a five-year agreement with Salesforce to supply 500,000 methane reduction credits by 2030, promoting climate-smart rice farming among smallholder farmers in India. This practice replaces continuous irrigation with alternate irrigation, reducing methane emissions by up to 50% and water use by up to 40% without affecting yields. Agriculture accounts for 40% of human-induced methane emissions, a potent contributor to climate change. Mitti Labs aims to expand credit issuance to 2 million annually by 2028 across India and Southeast Asia.
