日本のGX文脈において
日本の農地土壌炭素クレジット制度（J-クレジット）においても小規模農家の参加促進が課題。本フレームワークは低コスト計測技術とインセンティブ設計を提供し、日本における農家参加型炭素市場の参考となる。
In the global GX context
This paper addresses a critical gap in global carbon markets—the inclusion of smallholder farmers in developing countries. It offers practical, low-cost measurement and verification solutions relevant to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and voluntary carbon markets, and contributes to the discourse on inclusive climate finance.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Indian agriculture faces the dual challenge of enhancing soil health while mitigating climate change. This research paper presents a comprehensive agricultural soil carbon credit framework specifically designed for Indian smallholder farmers operating under semi-arid conditions. The framework integrates six core research objectives: (1) developing a reliable measurement and verification system suited to Indian farming conditions, (2) creating income opportunities through carbon credit programs, (3) establishing baseline data on soil organic carbon and health indicators, (4) implementing and evaluating soil management practices, (5) measuring seasonal and long-term changes in soil organic carbon, and (6) developing practical monitoring guidelines. The framework was developed using a doctrinal and conceptual research methodology based on a critical review and synthesis of existing literature, policy documents, carbon market mechanisms, and emerging soil carbon measurement technologies relevant to Indian agriculture. We propose innovative solutions, including affordable low-cost measurement technologies (portable NIR spectroscopy, handheld sensors, smartphone-based tools), a Small Local Carbon Service Organisation (SLCSO) model for accessible carbon measurement services, green incentives with fast remuneration mechanisms featuring tiered payment systems, and a "Carbon Check First" mechanism providing free or subsidised initial baseline assessments. This framework addresses critical barriers preventing smallholder farmer participation in carbon markets, including high measurement costs, complex procedures, and delayed payments. By combining technological innovation with farmer-centric service delivery models, this research aims to transform Indian smallholder agriculture into a viable carbon-sequestration sector while improving farmers' livelihoods and soil health.
