Agroforestry & Tree-Based Carbon
Boundary plantations, alley cropping, silvopasture and orchard systems sequester carbon for decades. We design bankable agroforestry programmes and connect the credits to credible buyers.
Who this is for
For farmers & FPOs
Plant the right trees in the right place — for shade, fodder, fruit and timber — and earn carbon income on top of what the trees already give your farm.
For agribusiness & developers
Species-site matching, biomass growth modelling, allometric measurement, permanence and leakage management, and long-term monitoring built for corporate-grade due diligence.
How it works
- 1
Site & species planning
Match species to land, climate and farmer goals — boundary, alley, silvopasture or orchard.
- 2
Planting & establishment
Support planting and early survival, the make-or-break phase.
- 3
Growth measurement (MRV)
Allometric sampling plus remote sensing to quantify biomass over time.
- 4
Permanence & verification
Manage permanence and leakage, then verify and issue credits.

Agroforestry — common questions
How soon do trees start earning credits?
Trees sequester carbon as they grow, so removals accrue over years. Credits are issued after monitoring confirms growth — agroforestry is a longer-horizon, durable-credit pathway.
What kinds of trees qualify?
Fruit, timber, fodder and shade species on fields, bunds and boundaries can qualify. We match species to your land and goals so the trees benefit the farm as well as the climate.
