Meenangadi panchayat implementing project with the aim of zero carbon footprint.When the project is completed by 2020, it would double the income of the farmers in the grama panchayat in an ecologically sustainable way.
The carbon neutral project intends to reduce emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases through a series of greening initiatives. The local body is working towards zero carbon footprint, to be achieved by bringing down pollution, carbon emissions, and plastic waste.
Silvy culture is one of the major components of the project and the farmers will get incentives at the time of planting trees on their land and on the third year of planting. The farmers could mortgage the matured trees in a bank and get 70% of the value of the tree as cash at times of financial needs, instead of felling trees.
