The sustainable development verified impact standard also know as "SD VISta" is the sustainability standard managed by Verra, the world’s leading standard for climate action and sustainable development. SD VISta verifies and quantifies sustainable development benefits generated from voluntary carbon offset projects. This standard ensures that certified projects not only produce measurable, sustainable development benefits but also follows best practices to protect local communities and ecosystems. Agoro Carbon Alliance works with farmers and ranchers to implement sustainable practices, like rotational grazing, biodiversity, cover crops and reduced tillage, that sequester carbon in the soil and generate carbon credits. The SD VISta standard, managed by Verra, will verify and quantify the sustainable development benefits generated from practices implemented with farmers and ranchers that partner with Agoro Carbon once registered.
