Regenerative Rice Project
Carbon Revolve scales high-integrity nature-based assets in Bangladesh using precision AWD hydrology and robust digital dMRV
Project Overview
The Carbon Revolve Regenerative Rice Project (C3RP) actively transitions high-emission smallholder networks in Porakhali and Mothurapur villages, located within Sreedharpur Union under Abhaynagar Upazila, into premium carbon assets. Evaluating 103 local farmers, the framework achieved a 97.1% reduction in synthetic chemicals and 89.3% biofertilizer adoption. Paddy yields stabilized at 79.89 Maunds while precision drainage lowered pumping run-times to save BDT 1,662.14 in seasonal irrigation costs per farmer. This foundational model accelerates regional scale-up toward a 10,000-hectare footprint by 2030.
Intervention
Capacity Development Initiative
Farmer Traning
The C3PR project in Jessore equips farmers with modern skills for eco-friendly, highly sustainable, and resilient regenerative rice cultivation
Biochar Preparation
Farmers are preparing highly efficient eco-friendly organic fertilizer by mixing 500 kg cow dung with 500 kg biochar
AWD Pipe Instalation
AWD pipes in paddy fields saves water costs while efficiently boosting crop yields and improving soil fertility
Biopesticide Preparation
Eco-friendly biopesticides extracted from ten medicinal leaves ensure safe, toxin-free, and sustainable crop production efficien
Pheromone Trap
Pheromone traps provide eco-friendly and natural pest control, ensuring toxin-free, highly sustainable, and modern agricultural crop production
Compost Application
Organic waste recycling and proper application ensure long-term soil fertility, environmental protection, and sustainable crop production
Project Impact
The comparison reveals a highly successful shift toward regenerative practices. The project achieved substantial milestones, notably in biofertilizer adoption (increasing from 1% to 89.3%) and a 97.1% reduction in synthetic chemical inputs. It also delivered tangible financial benefits, yielding an average irrigation savings of BDT 1,662.14 per farmer. However, precision field adoption of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD)
plumbing infrastructure remains restricted to a 6.8% active deployment rate. This indicates a critical structural gap between high farmer awareness and actual technical implementation. The next scaling phase must transition from baseline behavioral motivation to precise technical data management, automated MRV integration, and enhanced occupational safety frameworks.
Livestock Inclusion
Livestock Health at C3RP
Carbon Revolve successfully organized its 06 Animal Vaccination Campaign within the project area of the Carbon Revolve Regenerative Rice Project (C3RP) to reinforce community animal welfare and protect essential livestock assets. The high-impact drive commenced at 8:00 AM and concluded at 1:00 PM, drawing widespread participation from local farmers who brought a total of 480 cows, 320 goats, and 200 hens to receive critical immunizations.
Animal Vaccination Campaign
- Cattle Protection: A total of 480 cows received a robust combination of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Anthrax, and Haemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) vaccines, systematically shielding the herds from severe respiratory failures and fatal systemic infections.
- Goat Immunity: A cohort of 320 goats was successfully inoculated against devastating regional plagues using the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) vaccine alongside the Goat Pox vaccine.
- Poultry Security: A flock of 200 hens received the BCRDV / Newcastle Disease (Ranikhet) vaccine combined with the Gumboro (Infectious Bursal Disease) vaccine to prevent rapid-spreading, high-mortality viral outbreaks.
