What Agroforestree does

Agroforestree is a Brazilian climate technology company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Palhoça that operates a traceability platform connecting corporate carbon offsetting demand with smallholder agroforestry supply. The company enables enterprises, e-commerce merchants, event organizers, and platform operators to fund tree planting in agroforestry systems managed by 1,000+ registered small farmers across Brazil, with every tree documented via GPS coordinates, photographic evidence, species data, and satellite monitoring — directly addressing greenwashing concerns in voluntary carbon markets. The technology stack combines computer-vision AI for planting validation, satellite imagery for growth monitoring, and a REST API for checkout integrations, with cumulative outcomes of 500k+ trees planted, 450 hectares restored, and 70k tons of CO2 sequestered.

The product portfolio spans a core platform for tree adoption and certificates, a 'Plante Árvores' e-commerce checkout application deployed across nine platforms (Shopify, VTEX, Nuvemshop, WooCommerce, Magento, Bagy, Tray, Loja Integrada, Wix Stores), a REST API for ticketing/tourism/transportation integrations, an 'Inventário GEE' GHG inventory SaaS aligned with GHG Protocol, CDP, GRI, TCFD, and CVM/CSRD frameworks, regenerative event solutions with custom CO2 calculators, and sub-brand seals (Planto Arvores, Compenso Carbono) for ESG marketing. Agroforestree's business model is multi-pronged: transaction-based tree planting fees (starting at R$1.00 per donation at checkout), API integration fees, subscription-based GHG inventory software, and quote-based enterprise offsetting contracts.

The company sells through a combination of enterprise field sales, self-service platform access, and API-first distribution, targeting marquee enterprise customers including Banco do Brasil, Google, Netflix, TIM, Portobello, and GE Vernova alongside a long tail of SMB merchants via checkout integrations. To date, Agroforestree has raised approximately $262K in cumulative funding, with a R$1.1M (~$201K) crowdfunding round led by Arara Seed in August 2024 explicitly designated for international expansion and team scaling.

Core offering

Agroforestree operates a traceable agroforestry carbon compensation platform that connects companies seeking carbon offsets with small Brazilian farmers who plant trees in agroforestry systems. Each tree is registered with photo, geolocation, species, and planting date, validated through AI and high-resolution satellite monitoring, and exposed via public forest pages, QR codes, and certification seals for ESG reporting. The platform also offers a subscription-based GHG inventory software, a CO2 calculator, a REST API, and e-commerce checkout integrations that embed tree planting at the point of sale.

Product overview

Agroforestree is a climate technology platform offering trackable agroforestry carbon compensation. The portfolio consists of a core platform (https://agroforestree.com/) providing the main tree planting registry, geolocation, and monitoring capabilities, with multiple integrated modules: Solução para Empresas (corporate carbon offsetting with seals), Eventos Regenerativos (carbon neutral events), E-commerce Plante Árvores (shopping cart integration), Calculadora de CO2 (emission calculator), API Plante Árvores (developer integration), Inventário GEE (GHG inventory software), and customer-facing Portal Adotar Árvores. The platform differentiates through geotechnology that maps each tree with GPS coordinates and photo evidence, AI validation, and satellite monitoring.

Direct peers

• Pachama: AI-driven nature-based carbon credit marketplace with satellite-based MRV and project origination across forestry and agroforestry; directly comparable in offering nature-based credits with strong traceability verification to enterprise buyers.
• PUR Projet: Specialist in agroforestry and regenerative agriculture project development with smallholder farmer networks; directly comparable business model of aggregating small farmers into corporate-funded agroforestry carbon projects.
• Boomitra: Carbon project developer using satellite monitoring and AI verification to issue soil carbon and agroforestry credits from smallholder farms in emerging markets; closely comparable tech stack and smallholder aggregation model.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole Group: Large carbon project developer and consultancy offering agroforestry, forestry, and ARR credits with global delivery; comparable as a project developer serving enterprise ESG buyers, but with a much broader portfolio beyond agroforestry.

Regional players

• re.green: Brazilian reforestation and native species carbon project developer with land bank and origination expertise; comparable as a Brazil-focused nature-based carbon developer, though oriented toward larger-scale reforestation rather than smallholder agroforestry.
• Mombak: Brazilian carbon credit developer focused on native species reforestation with high-quality registry-issued credits; comparable as a domestic Brazilian nature-based project developer competing for the same enterprise carbon buyer pool.
• Carbonext: Brazilian carbon project developer and consultancy serving corporate ESG buyers with native species and agroforestry credits; comparable as a domestic competitor offering nature-based carbon offsets to Brazilian enterprise customers.

Emerging players

• Sylvera: Independent carbon credit ratings and analytics provider using satellite and AI to assess carbon project quality; not a direct competitor but a critical ecosystem player that could either validate or downgrade Agroforestree's project quality.
• Toucan Protocol: Blockchain-based carbon credit infrastructure bridging on-chain and off-chain credits; comparable at the intersection of carbon marketplace infrastructure and digital MRV, though focused on tokenization rather than project origination.
• Patch: API-first carbon credit platform enabling businesses to embed offsets into products and checkout flows; highly comparable API-first distribution model and enterprise integration focus to Agroforestree's e-commerce and ticketing integrations.
