Agroforestry operations
Farmers, farms, boundaries, tree registration, species, planting dates, survival, inspections and field activity.
Agroforestry first. Carbon built in.
Digital infrastructure for smallholder agroforestry.
One operating record connecting farmers, farms and trees with field monitoring, audit evidence, environmental benefits, carbon, payments and markets.
DrawDown helps community-based programs manage trees over time — from registration, mapping and field inspections through to growth, survival, environmental outcomes, carbon accounting, verification and farmer payments.

Agroforestry as the foundation
Manage the agroforestry program. Measure the value it creates.
DrawDown starts with the farmer and the tree. The same field record used to manage planting, survival and growth becomes audit evidence for environmental benefits, carbon accounting and transparent farmer payments.
Tree & farm management
Growth history, DBH and height, maps, measurement quality, inspector work allocation and long-term tree records.
Environmental outcomes & finance
Audit evidence, environmental benefits, carbon accounting, credit management and farmer payments remain connected to the same agroforestry record.
One tree, one continuous record
A digital life record for every tree.
DrawDown follows the tree through time, linking field monitoring and audit evidence to the farmer and farm where the tree is growing. The same record supports management, environmental benefits, carbon accounting, reporting and farmer payments.

One operating record for the whole agroforestry program
Start with farmers, farms and trees. Add monitoring, audit evidence, carbon and payments as the program grows.
Individual Tree Records
Each tree has a unique identity linked to its farmer, farm, species, GPS position, planting record, photos and inspection history. RFID scanning makes the same tree easy to find again in the field.
Survival & Growth
Track whether trees survive from year to year and build a longitudinal growth record using DBH, height and repeat inspections. Programs can see performance by farmer, species, area and project.
Species Management
Maintain a structured species and taxonomy record with wood-density values, project species lists and field-linked tree records. The same taxonomy also feeds biomass and carbon calculations when required.
Offline Field Operations
Inspectors can scan trees, record measurements and capture photos without connectivity. Work queues on the device and syncs when a connection returns, keeping field operations practical in remote areas.
Farm & Boundary Mapping
Map farmer land, draw boundaries and relate individual tree locations to farms and project areas. Eligible planting area can be derived from registered tree positions.
Location Verification
Automated rules identify trees outside farmer boundaries, GPS drift between visits and repeated coordinates so field records can be reviewed before they become reporting problems.
Measurement Quality Control
Photo analysis, growth-rate checks and anomaly detection help identify questionable measurements, duplicate readings and location inconsistencies before they flow into project reporting.
Biomass & Carbon Accounting
Where a program uses carbon finance, DrawDown calculates tree-level biomass and carbon using species, measurements, routed allometric equations and traceable density sources.
Audit Evidence & Carbon Bank
Verified carbon results can flow into serialised credit records, buyer and transaction tracking, audit review and retirement records — all linked back to the field evidence that created them.
Farmer Payments & Reporting
Record farmer payments linked to verified tree survival and generate project reporting across trees, growth, inspections, carbon and payments in Excel or PDF.
Role-Based Access
System administrators, project managers, auditors, inspectors and farmers each see the functions and data relevant to their role, while client organisations can receive controlled read-only reporting access.
From farmer enrolment to long-term value
Field monitoring builds the evidence needed to understand tree performance, measure environmental benefits, calculate carbon and support transparent farmer payments.
1. Enrol & Map
Register farmers, farms and project areas. Draw farm boundaries and create the geographic structure that the agroforestry program will operate within.
2. Plant, Register & Tag
Give each tree a unique digital identity linked to its farmer, species, planting date, GPS position and photo. RFID supports repeat identification during future field visits.
3. Monitor & Manage
Inspect trees over time, record survival, DBH, height and photographic evidence, and build a long-term growth history. Field teams can work offline and sync later.
4. Measure Environmental Outcomes
Turn field observations into program intelligence — survival rates, growth performance, mapped planting activity and, where needed, biomass and carbon results with full calculation provenance.
5. Verify, Report & Pay
Generate audit-ready evidence, report verified environmental and carbon outcomes, and link those outcomes to transparent farmer payments and environmental markets.
Who uses it
Farmers, inspectors, project managers and verifiers each contribute to or use the same trusted operating record.
Program / System Admin
Oversees programs, users, project structures, species data and platform settings across the system, including carbon modules where they are used.
- Cross-Program Oversight
- Species & System Settings
- Environmental Finance Controls
Project Manager
Manages assigned agroforestry projects — farmer enrolment, field-team allocation, tree records, data quality, reporting and payment approvals.
- Farmer & Tree Oversight
- Field-Team Allocation
- Payments & Reporting
Auditor / Verifier
Reviews project evidence independently with controlled access to tree records, field measurements, photos, calculations and, where relevant, carbon credit batches.
- Evidence Review
- Read-Only Project Access
- Audit Trail Logging
Inspector
Finds and identifies trees, records survival and measurements, captures photos and completes assigned fieldwork using the mobile app, including in areas without connectivity.
- RFID / NFC Identification
- Offline Fieldwork
- Tree Measurement & Photos
Farmer
Personal view of registered trees, mapped land, growth and survival information, environmental outcomes and payment history without needing project administration access.
- Trees & Farm View
- Growth & Survival
- Payment History
Why agroforestry changes the model
Start with the farmer and the tree — then measure carbon and environmental benefits.
Carbon is one important outcome“How much carbon has this project generated?”
DrawDown connects the whole program“How are farmers, farms and trees performing over time — and what environmental value are they creating?”
Carbon finance can reward verified outcomes. DrawDown provides the operating infrastructure that connects the agroforestry program to field evidence, environmental measurement, carbon accounting and farmer payments.

Built for smallholder programs in the field
Practical field infrastructure that supports environmental measurement, carbon accounting and farmer payments.
Built for the field
DrawDown is designed for dispersed farming communities where connectivity may be poor. Inspectors can identify trees, capture measurements and photos offline, then synchronise when connectivity returns.
One connected record
Farmers, farms, trees, inspections, mapping, measurements, payments, carbon calculations and audit evidence remain connected rather than being split across separate systems.
Evidence created through operations
Verification evidence is created as the agroforestry program operates. Field photos, measurements, survival checks and payments build the historical record instead of being reconstructed later.
Carbon-ready from the same evidence
Where carbon finance is pursued, the same historical farmer, tree and field evidence can support carbon accounting, verification and market participation without creating a separate data system.
From individual action to landscape change
Small actions. Landscape-scale impact.
Agroforestry is distributed by nature. One farmer may manage tens or hundreds of trees. A community may manage thousands. A national program may connect thousands of farmers and millions of trees. DrawDown makes those individual actions visible as one trusted operating picture.
One farmer.One tree.One record.Many farmers. Many trees. Landscape-scale impact.
Environmental finance
Carbon is a powerful layer.
For carbon-enabled programs, DrawDown uses the same farmer, tree, measurement and field-evidence records to support biomass calculations, carbon accounting, verification, credit management and farmer benefit sharing. The carbon record remains connected to the agroforestry activity that created it.
