Digitizing the Nursery Supply Chain for Agroforestry Initiatives

The Sustainable Green Initiative (SGI) was launched with a clear mission: to improve farmer livelihoods while addressing pressing challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, and climate change. By promoting agroforestry through the distribution and cultivation of fruit and timber trees, SGI enables farmers to diversify income, restore ecosystems, and build long-term climate resilience. To scale these efforts efficiently and transparently, SGI adopted a Digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (DMRV) platform, with a dedicated Nursery Supply Chain Module at its core.

About the Company

The Sustainability Foundation works tirelessly to combat climate change through large-scale tree-planting initiatives. It meticulously distributes, plants, and nurtures fruit trees across vast regions. Their commitment extends beyond planting to ensure high survival rates by monitoring saplings for three years.

  • Custom Activity Reporting

The Problem

Agroforestry programs often struggle with operational and data challenges, particularly at the nursery level. Key issues included: 

  • Limited visibility into sapling demand, availability, and quality across nurseries 
  • Manual and fragmented tracking of sapling distribution to farmers 
  • Inconsistent monitoring of sapling growth and survival rates after planting 
  • Difficulty generating verifiable, field-level data required for carbon credit eligibility 
  • Lack of real-time insights to align nursery production with on-ground planting needs 

These gaps increased inefficiencies, raised the risk of sapling shortages or overproduction, and weakened the credibility of impact and carbon claims.

Solutions

SGI implemented a DMRV platform with an integrated Nursery Supply Chain Module designed specifically for agroforestry initiatives. The solution digitized the entire nursery-to-field workflow, including: 

  • Demand forecasting: Capturing sapling requirements based on farmer needs and planting plans 
  • Nursery tracking: Monitoring sapling raising, species mix, and readiness stages 
  • Input distribution: Digitally recording sapling allocation and delivery to farmers 
  • Field-level monitoring: Tracking planting activities and early growth assessments using real-time data capture 
  • Carbon readiness: Structuring data to meet MRV requirements for future carbon credit issuance
