How it works
From seed to sapling
We plant a seed and keep the sapling in one of our 8 nurseries in Kenya and Burkina Faso. At 4 months old the tree is delivered to a particpating farm. At that stage it is registered on the blockchain.
Monitoring tree
Our Dream Team of young people empowered by the AI in the PlantVillage app periodically visit the farms and check each registered tree to determine its growth using standard agroforestry methods and species specific allometric equations.
process
Report and payment
Regular measurements means we can pay farmers for the amount of CO2 captured.
Locking carbon
After a period of fast growing ends and the effeciency of carbon locking reduces, we pyrolytically lock carbon an a biochar form and spreading it on the fields, so carbon permanently locked in the soil.
For
Farmers
We collaborate with farmers across Africa. They are planting trees on the edge of their farms which immediately helps them combat climate change by drought proofing farms. They also convert invasive weeds to biochar reducing desertification. They are paid for fighting climate change!
