Analysis on the Functions of the Community in FCS Projects and the Factors Influencing These Functions

As a basic organisational unit, the community plays a key role in FCS projects. As most farmers live and farm in households in scattered plots, the transaction costs between carbon sink buyers and farmers are very high; it is necessary to bring together scattered farmers through the community, which is to organise them to participate in carbon sink transactions. In the process, the community plays a role in ensuring a project that benefits the poverty-stricken people.
