Our projects

Smallholder farmers are hit hardest by climate change. Desertification, extreme rain or extreme drought and rising temperatures are all problems they face on a daily basis. Smallholder farmers also have limited access to financing and therefore cannot easily invest in their own futures or resilience. We hope to change this by supporting these farmers, and agroforestry offers an answer. Agroforestry means healthier soil, better yields, and diversification of both nutrients and income. Planting trees, however, requires a relatively large investment. Through our projects, Acorn aims to facilitate such investments.

Acorn projects are either certified by the Verra or Plan Vivo standard. Our projects and credits also undergo extensive third-party verification.

For each carbon credit sold as part of the Acorn program, at least 70% of the revenue flows back to the farmers, 15% goes to the local partner, and the remaining 15% goes to Acorn for administration and operational costs.
