Amazon has partnered with the Good Rice Alliance to reduce methane emissions in India through climate-smart agriculture. The deal aims to secure 685,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by improving water and nutrient management for smallholder farmers. While the project highlights the potential for agricultural carbon markets, critics argue it may serve as a corporate offset for Amazon's expanding data center emissions. Experts are monitoring how much of the $30 million actually reaches the farmers to ensure real development outcomes.
