Cultivo

Why We Invest

There is a vast amount of degraded land across the tropics. Cultivo uses satellite and software tools to identify sites with high restoration potential and promising financial value. They’ve identified an unmet demand for high quality offset projects that also benefit communities. The key is creating a trusted process to validate ecosystem gains, and verify social benefits are equitably distributed. They work with landowners on restoration plans, and finance them through natural capital payments. As these projects get easier to implement, more credit buyers and more communities should enter the market. Cultivo can be the platform that brings them together.
