No, purchasing a tree from Vi Agroforestry is not considered climate compensation. When you buy a tree, it is a donation to support Vi Agroforestry’s broader work, which includes various operational and project costs. While Vi Agroforestry has planted a significant number of trees over the years, resulting in substantial carbon sequestration, carbon credit generation require a specific process. This involves measuring tree growth using a rigorous methodology and third-party verification. This process is only carried out within Vi Agroforestry’s dedicated carbon projects, not in other agroforestry initiatives.
