A capacity-building session focusing on carbon measurement and carbon market opportunities was successfully conducted under the Food Security Project. The programme was led by the project’s Agronomist, with participation from the MEAL Officer, Project Coordinator, Field Officer, and staff members of Caritas SED Galle.
The training aimed to enhance the knowledge of programme staff and smallholder farmers (SHFs) on practical methods of measuring carbon sequestration in agriculture, understanding global carbon market trends, and exploring potential benefits for local farming communities.
Participants gained insights into low-carbon farming practices, sustainable land management, and how community-level carbon initiatives can support environmental sustainability while creating additional income streams.
Organizers emphasized that strengthening staff and farmer knowledge in carbon-related mechanisms is essential as the agricultural sector adapts to global climate-smart agriculture standards.
