What does the landowner get?

A long lease with no investment and no risk. Fixed rent from year one, paid whatever the season does. No money, labour or equipment needed from you. Drought, fire and grazing loss are our loss, not yours. Land comes back with better soil than it went in with.

What is multi tier planting?

Species with different growth speeds planted together, on purpose. Fast rows are cut on a short cycle and pay for protecting the block. Slow native trees build the canopy that matters in year twenty. Crops between the rows earn from year two.

Why lease degraded land instead of forest land?

Cleaner title, fewer competing claims, far less litigation risk, and cheaper to hold for two decades. Restoring it also adds value where there is almost none today.

A stable carbon rich solid made by heating plant residue with very little oxygen. Its carbon resists decay for a very long time, and it helps poor soil hold water and nutrients.

What we build

Land restoration

We lease degraded land, put our own money into it, and hold it for twenty to thirty years. If a tree dies, we lose, not the landowner.

How the lease works

We own what we plant

Long lease on degraded or barren land
Landowner gets fixed rent from year one
We fund planting, water and protection
We own the crop and the carbon for the term
Bad season is our loss, not the owner's
Soil goes back richer than we took it

Not a contractor. Paid per sapling means nobody is paid to care in year four. Why that matters.

One block, in section. The left is what we lease. The right is what a lease term is meant to produce. The four layers run on deliberately different clocks, because the fast ones have to earn enough to keep the slow one alive. Most of the value being built here sits below the ground line, which is also the part nobody can photograph, and the reason we publish soil and water measurements rather than planting day pictures.

Commercial terms

Carbon rights

Our default position, and the three other structures we will sign. Published, not negotiated in private.

On every block

Survival, measured

Fixed sample plots, revisited after a full dry season, reported with sample size and error. Bad counts stay published.

How we measure

What a restored block changes

Air Carbon out of the sky Growing trees remove carbon, and biochar locks part of it in a form that does not come back.

Water The table rises Trenches and canopy slow runoff so monsoon rain soaks in instead of leaving with the topsoil.

Soil Depth returns Organic matter and char rebuild ground that had stopped holding water or nutrients.

People Income without risk Rent that does not depend on rainfall, and local work in planting, protection and harvest.
