Taking Root is an internationally renowned non-profit organization that seeks to restore forest ecosystems by improving farmers' livelihoods. It provides farmers with economic incentives to maintain and grow forests, including carbon sequestration payments and forest enterprise generation.
Taking Root’s unique contribution comes from its use of technology to direct investments into verified climate impacts. Its innovative platform, FARM-TRACE, provides automated third-party forest and carbon reporting by combining local, satellite and machine learning data. Applied in nine countries across all three tropical continents, this model helps smallholder farmers create additional revenue streams while mitigating climate change.
The organization will participate in Initiative 20x20 through the Task Forces on Carbon Markets and Monitoring and Transparency. A diverse team with extensive expertise in forest and project design, smallholder economics, and remote sensing, Taking Root has much to offer the Initiative.
