At Acorn we help smallholder farmers in developing countries to make the transition to agroforestry while benefiting from the carbon markets. We generate and sell carbon removal units based on the CO2 that is sequestered by the planted trees. With 80% of sales revenue going to the farmers, it helps the transition to a more climate-resilient way of farming that improves livelihoods, biodiversity and food security.
