Agroforestry, reforestation, community forest management and carbon credits: this environmental-services value chain values an intangible asset — the forest's capacity to store carbon — rather than a processed physical product.
- Demanding carbon certification: methodology, verification, entry costs.
- Long horizon before the first carbon revenue.
- Community governance to be structured to secure rights and revenue.
- Access to voluntary carbon markets, which are growing.
- Revenue complementary to agroforestry (timber, NTFPs) on the same plots.
- Positioning on an emerging environmental-services segment.
Planting today for a carbon revenue tomorrow.
- Reforestation and community agroforestry plans.
- Pairing with intermediate revenue (timber, NTFPs).
Agrovita structures bankable reforestation projects eligible for carbon credits.
- Structuring bankable reforestation and carbon-credit projects.
