Tropical Farmer Connect - TROFACO

Embark on a journey of positive impact with TROFACO, where organized communities in Cambodia, Uganda, and Vietnam are transforming vacant lands and institutional spaces into thriving forests.

With a track record of planting over 400,000 trees, TROFACO stands as a testament to its commitment, successfully implementing every project. The focus is not just on planting trees; it's about elevating local livelihoods. By granting ownership of the trees to the landholders, TROFACO ensures a sustainable approach, making the plantation or forest a semi-permanent CO2 sink.

Experience transparency and simplicity with TROFACO's exclusive standard, designed to be robust and easily understood. Unlike other complicated and costly Voluntary Standards, TROFACO's approach relies on direct measurements and photographic evidence, ensuring a tangible and enduring impact. The company's expertise in 'International Development Assistance' informs their strategy, fostering strong local, social ownership of new forests. TROFACO goes beyond its reforestation initiatives, verifying CO2 uptake in tree plantings sponsored by commercial farmers in the tropics, contributing valuable data for ESG reporting to the EU

As a TROFACO supporter, you have direct access to a transparent database showcasing geo- and time-referenced pictures of the trees. The company reports detailed information on tree locations, species, and quantities planted by each landowner. Clients are encouraged to witness the progress firsthand, with on-site visits near Hanoi, where TROFACO provides support upon request. The company diligently reports the CO2 absorption of the trees, with measurements taken through standard forestry practices. Additionally, TROFACO integrates satellite images from Quaptur for built-in verification, ensuring triangulation on key factors. With 30% of all income directed to the independent "TROFACO CO2 Fund," the company not only ensures ongoing project assessment but also rewards local projectholders for outstanding performance.
