Vi Agroforestry engages with carbon standards by submitting projects for approval, using their methodologies for carbon accounting, and working within their platforms for verifier vetting, registration, and credit issuance. Notably, Vi Agroforestry co-developed the VM0017 methodology with Verra (the largest and most widely used carbon crediting standard in the world) and the World Bank to enable smallholder soil carbon projects. However, VM0017 was recently deactivaded. Standards also guide validation and verification, ensuring projects meet environmental and technical criteria before credits are issued.
