# Proba Standard

The Proba Standard sets the rules for quantifying, validating, verifying, and issuing emission reduction Inset Units in agricultural supply chains. It covers the full chain: the GHG Standard, the committee, project design and validation requirements, VVB procedures, and the process for developing new methodologies.

Every methodology, project design template, and governance document behind a Proba project is here: open to read, apply, and scrutinise.
