Methodology Overview
Integrates productive agriculture with ecological restoration using permaculture principles and organic management. Creates a diverse, multi-layered system enhancing biodiversity and soil health (monitored via soil metrics) while building sustainable livelihoods and economic resilience through diversified yields and potential premium pricing for regeneratively grown products. Demonstrates economic viability alongside ecological benefits, applying data-driven insights for planting and maintenance.
Focus Pillars
Indicative Density
1,000 stems/hectare (Note: Actual density varies by project design)
🌱 Regenerative Reforestation Flow (Per Hectare)
- Seed Discovery & Provenance Tracking
→Community-led identification, collection, and tagging of diverse native seeds based on ecological and cultural value.
- Nursery Propagation & Infrastructure Setup
→Germination, soil conditioning, pest prevention, and nursery infrastructure including solar, irrigation, and potting systems.
- Site Preparation & Ecological Design
→Land clearing/slashing, GPS-based planting layout, soil improvement, and path/machinery access integration.
- Tree Planting & Ground Integration
→Auger-assisted digging, watering-in, volunteer-supported planting, mycorrhizal pairing, mulching, and biodegradable weed mat application.
- Ongoing Care, Stewardship & Biodiversity Management
→Spot and full mulching, herbicide-free weed control, ongoing irrigation, fertigation, pest monitoring, and pig fencing where needed.
- Ecological Intelligence & Transparent Monitoring
→Drone surveys, LIDAR scans, biodiversity and soil health surveys, geotagged reporting, and map-based progress tracking.
Potential Adaptations
- Can emphasize Native species for higher biodiversity goals.
- Can focus on High-Density specialty crops for profit maximization.
