Transform value chains, businesses and policies to facilitate the transition to agroecology
We are a non-profit company that specializes in establishing a value chain around agroforestry with pioneer species in Europe. We are building a finance path along CO2 contribution credits and are currently developing the first German agroforestry CO2 standard in cooperation with a consortium and the German Institute for Norming (DIN).
We are interested in partnering (or potentially also leading) a project in this call, regarding the 2nd topic around value chains. We are especially interested in exploring the right conditions for the value chain in question (fast-growing trees on agricultural land, the product being CO2 capture products (contribution credits) and the resulting wooden products from the harvest, i.e. populus species wood which can be turned into various building material, partially or whole).
We can provide extensive (10 year +) experience in planning, planting, doing maintenance, harvesting and marketing fast-growing tree species in agroforestry settings around mostly Germany but also some other European countries. We have a pipeline of interested farmers and are situated in a network of potential other research partners around agroforestry, biodiversity and wood-use from agricultural land.
Looking forward to your interest!
VIVO Carbon gGmbH is a non-profit company, founded in 2023 in Hamburg/Germany. We operate Europe-wide on the premise to establish more agroforestry systems as they are a high-potential, nature-based measure to further climate mitigation and adaptation in the farming sector, offering several cross-benefits such as water retention, positive micro climate, corridor and habitat function for biodiversity, soil regeneration et cetera.
