Hedera: 3 million Filipino farmers to monetize their carbon

Hedera-backed EcoGuard Global launches the CONFED Carbon Office in the Philippines to help 3 million coconut farmers register projects, verify results, and issue carbon credits on Hedera. The Samar COCAL Agroforestry Project could generate up to 200,000 credits annually. Hedera’s Guardian registry aids traceability, aiming to reduce fraud and double counting. Yet experts note additionality and verification remain critical for genuine environmental impact and fair farmer returns.
