Nativas

What Nativas does

Nativas is a Rosario, Argentina-based climate technology company founded in 2022 that converts nature-derived environmental services—biodiversity, carbon capture, and ecosystem regeneration on agricultural land—into digitized, blockchain-registered environmental assets sold to enterprise buyers. The company operates a two-sided platform that enrolls agricultural producers as environmental service providers by designing and implementing nature-based solutions (biological corridors, forestation, silvopastoral systems) on their land, then valorizes the resulting services as three distinct asset products: Tree Assets (trees purchased and planted), Carbon Assets (verified carbon removal), and Nature Positive Assets® (a registered trademark certifying nature integration in production, usable for natural capital accounting on corporate balance sheets). The underlying technology combines satellite remote sensing, ecological models, geospatial analysis, and a proprietary science-based protocol with smart contracts deployed on the Polygon blockchain network for issuance and traceability; project verification is supported by Universidad Nacional de Rosario and scientific partners including CONICET, UNRN, and ANII (Uruguay).

Nativas monetizes through project-based environmental asset sales on a transaction-fee basis to enterprise buyers in the agricultural value chain, supported by direct enterprise sales rather than self-serve. Its go-to-market centers on engaging corporates (e.g., Boortmalt Argentina, La Segunda, GlobalLogic, La Bodeguita de Pichincha) to design customized nature-positive production strategies and then anchoring them to specific on-the-ground projects (La Palmina, Don Nicanor, Vinalito, Sundt, La Lucila, among others) where producers receive incremental income from asset sales. The company has executed 12+ named projects across at least five Argentine provinces plus Uruguay, planting over 75,000 trees with an estimated potential CO2 capture of more than 18,000 tonnes, and has secured strategic partnerships with The Nature Conservancy, Eternity Group Mexico, Fundación Cargill, and multiple agricultural sector associations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting an enterprise sales motion rather than a standardized SaaS model. The business is privately held with no disclosed priced funding round beyond a Village Capital accelerator placement in 2023.

Revenue model

1. Environmental Asset Sales: Nativas converts nature's services (biodiversity and carbon capture) into environmental assets that are sold to companies as an integrated solution to generate competitive advantages and guarantee sustainability in the value chain. Three types of assets: Tree Assets (purchase and planting of trees), Carbon Assets (verified carbon removal), and Nature Positive Assets® (certification of nature integration in production).
2. Project-Based Environmental Services: Producers are transformed into environmental service providers. Nativas implements nature-based solutions (biological corridors, forestation, pastures) on producer land, valorizes the resulting services, and sells assets to enterprise buyers, with producers receiving extra income from environmental asset sales.

Core offering

Nativas converts nature-based ecosystem services (carbon capture and biodiversity) generated by incorporating natural habitat into agricultural lands into verifiable digital environmental assets—Tree Assets, Carbon Assets, and Nature Positive Assets®—which are registered on a blockchain-based platform and sold to enterprises as an integrated sustainability solution for their value chains.

Product overview

Nativas offers a portfolio of three core environmental asset products: Tree Asset, Carbon Asset, and Nature Positive Asset®, all built on a blockchain-based digital platform that enables companies to purchase, track, and register environmental assets. The products work together to allow agricultural producers to become providers of environmental services, with assets representing trees planted, carbon sequestered, and biodiversity integrated into production. All assets are verified, digitized, and registered on blockchain for transparency and traceability.

Direct peers

• Pachama: Marketplace for nature-based carbon credits using satellite monitoring and AI verification. Directly comparable to Nativas on both the buyer-side carbon marketplace and the satellite-based MRV technology stack, though Pachama operates globally rather than regionally.
• Indigo Ag: US-based agribusiness issuing agricultural carbon credits through regenerative farming practices with grower participation. Most comparable to Nativas on the producer-side carbon program model, though at much larger scale and with US grower focus.
• Boomitra: Soil carbon credit platform combining satellite remote sensing with grower enrollment across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Closest direct peer to Nativas in terms of satellite-based soil/nature MRV and smallholder producer focus in emerging markets.
• re.green: Brazilian company restoring native forest for carbon credit issuance with proprietary MRV and biodiversity co-benefit quantification. Closely comparable regional competitor working across the same Latin American biome (Atlantic Forest vs. Gran Chaco) with a similar tree-planting-and-tokenize model.
• Regrow Ag: Agriculture sustainability platform combining satellite MRV, crop modeling, and carbon program management for agribusinesses. Comparable to Nativas on the satellite/ecological-model MRV layer and on enterprise agribusiness buyer enablement.
• CIBO Technologies: Platform for scaling regenerative agriculture with remote sensing-based practice verification and carbon credit program management. Comparable on the agricultural carbon program structure and on remote-sensing-based grower enrollment.
• Patch (formerly BCultral): API-based carbon credit purchasing platform for enterprises that aggregates credits from multiple project developers. Comparable on the blockchain-enabled enterprise sales channel for environmental assets, though Patch is platform-only while Nativas also originates projects.
• Biofilica: Brazil-based provider of nature-based carbon and biodiversity solutions for agribusiness and corporates, with proprietary biodiversity credit methodology. Closest LatAm peer to Nativas in terms of agro-nature focus, biodiversity co-benefit monetization, and corporate buyer targeting.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole Group: Large, established carbon project developer and climate solutions provider with broad portfolio across nature-based, tech-based, and energy-based credits globally. Overlaps with Nativas on the carbon credit development and corporate ESG advisory layer but at vastly larger scale and without Nativas' specific LatAm agro focus.

Emerging players

• Sylvera: Independent carbon credit ratings and analytics provider using satellite and machine learning to assess project quality. Adjacent to Nativas — both rely on satellite MRV — but Sylvera rates third-party projects rather than originating them, making it a potential buyer or partner rather than direct competitor.
