Greenstand is addressing climate change and poverty by building an environmental employment platform to plant carbon-storing trees in degraded landscapes. This is a link that offers the opportunity for meaningful employment in some of the world's poorest most depleted environments; it is a system that alleviates extreme poverty and cools the earth.
We have built a tech platform and are preparing to implement it around the world. By using smartphone technology to verify and measure tree plantings we are valuing individual trees from the day they are planted and turning that value into small digital assets. From here, think about multi-billion dollar carbon-offset markets, and green marking mechanisms. Imagine climbing on an airplane, or having a cup of coffee that offsets your carbon footprint.
We need your help laying a solid financial framework for growth.
Currently, we are linking planters to existing organizations and businesses that are funding tree planting.

Mission Statement
Greenstand is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization developing open-source technology to address climate change and alleviate poverty through digitizing environmental goods and services. We are made up of about 505 contributors across the globe. Our Treetracker app verifies and tracks individual trees, thus creating transparency in the reforestation sphere. Organizations and donors can locate individual trees and trade their ecological impact. By facilitating ownership of trees and their ecological services, Greenstand allows for tree-growing organizations to stay accountable.
Description
Greenstand develops mobile technology for better forestation techniques. Through our Treetracker app, rural smallholder farmers in some of the most remote communities on the planet are able to earn a sustainable income by planting, caring for, and tracking trees. Each tree grower takes a geotagged photo of their tree and uploads it to the Treetracker’s verification system, where Greenstanders verify that each photographed tree is alive and growing. Verified trees are digitized as Impact Tokens, which can be traded or sold among other Impact Wallet users within the Treetracker app.
Nasiyan was one of our first Treetracker. A single mother living with extreme visual and hearing impairments, she could barely afford to keep food on the table for herself and her three sons. However, since she began growing and tracking trees with Greenstand, her life has been looking up. Her young forest has become a small biodiversity hotspot, and with the income she has earned from tracking trees, she can now afford to send her boys to school.
