Farmer and community driven
Our project design, implementation and advisory is practical, effective and support the permanence of the investment. For implementation, we partner with communities to deliver nature based solutions and improve farmer and community well-being. Together we rebuild planetary health.
Our project design and implementation approach
Feasibility: Together with communities, we assess the pathways to regenerative farming, project impact potential (carbon and non-carbon), practical delivery, attractiveness to communities and the project permanence.
Design & Payment for Environmental Services: Together with communities, we design solutions contributing to regenerating planetary health. We establish the implementation timeline, activities and responsibilities. We detail out the carbon removal projections and other impacts and the project budget for min. 10 years.
Partnering: We create a reciprocity agreement and define the mutual benefits on a community or individual level as a form of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). We create community ownership and provide services which communities would hardly have access to in return for regenerative farming practices.
Implementation: Our local team and partners (such as nurseries or technology providers) in partnership with communities strive for the best in class on the ground operations. We always look at an integrated farming system.
Project impact monitoring:Together with partner communities, Treevaluation monitors the progress of the activities, and communities receive their solutions. We provide impact reports – our carbon reports are third party verified.
Our services & Your benefits
We deliver our project services either as a comprehensive process or individual modules. We can also deliver projects through or train your field staff. You can look forward to our team delivering the following:
Feasibility study
You can take a Go / No Go decision or adjust your implementation strategy.
- Local context report
- Technical feasibility (practical delivery, farmer acceptance, implementation risk register)
- Impacts (carbon and non-carbon) projection for 20-50 years
- Options for carbon asset generation/carbon accounting standards
- Permanence assessment
Project design
You will have a good picture of the cornerstones of your project and the necessary investment for desired outcomes.
- Project Design Document incl. activities, implementation timeline and responsibilities
- Detailed quantification of carbon, community and biodiversity impacts
- Investment cost and benefit analysis (in EUR/tCO2e)
Payment for Environmental Services (PES)
You share a reward with farming communities for being guardians of nature and land.
- Farmer and community cost and benefit analysis
- PES system design (benefit sharing mechanism, technical infrastructure requirements, timing)
- Implementation costs
- Implementation through local technical partners
Project implementation
You will always know what’s happening on the ground.
- Community and Farmer engagement process
- Planting material delivery through professional nurseries
- Delivery of field activities through trained technicians
Project impact monitoring
You will always know what’s happening on the ground and whether you are on track.
- Practical, transparent and timely monthly to quarterly monitoring (season-based)
- Remote sensing-based monitoring supported by in-field data collection
- Reporting compliant with GHG / ISO / GRI Standards and verified by a third party
Carbon removal project advisory
You will be able to remove carbon within your supply chain.
- Carbon asset generation / Carbon accounting standards
- Risk and quality assessments
- Project portfolio quality screening
- Recommendations on high-quality carbon removal projects
Communities Design Solutions
Regenerating planetary health means taking a strong integrated action to make the impact last. Communities typically identify the following solutions for their community wellbeing:
Drinking water
Currently, lots of communities rely on consumption of dirty surface water. This leads to diseases and therefore people cannot realise their full health potential.
Health care
At the moment, access to health care is non existent or is distant. That makes it expensive and leads to fatal and lethal cases.
Business logistics
Currently, it’s mainly women’s entrepreneurship groups that struggle to transport their produce due to high logistics costs and therefore lose business opportunities.
Renewable energy / electricity
At the moment, lack of clean energy options means community members are socially and economically excluded.
Quality education
Currently, lack of school access or high costs of education lead to more child labour and children missing out on life opportunities.
Agroforestry
Common conventional monoculture is prone to climate change risks, depletes soils and does not support financial resilience of farmers.
