What We Do
Who is 180 Earth
- 180.earth cooperates with farmer families worldwide. We are a new era movement that enables global eco-projects by adding two important accelerators:
high tech apps to connect sponsors with the farmer for direct payments and communication; - 20+ years last mile project implementation experience in most difficult and remote locations on earth to ensure unbiased contact with local farmers.
Why is 180 Earth Different
Typically tree planting organization miss necessary experience to include the last mile. How do they reach cooperative farmer families and what happens after planting?
Millions of seedlings are planted without proper after care. Connecting planting AND care taking with the farmers and their families will bridge this gap and provide proper aftercare. Every tree planted in the 180.earth program has its own ‘guardian angel’.
Our unique technology and presence at the location ensures sustainable relationship between farmers and trees.
180 Earth Skips Bureaucracy
Through the unique 180eEarth blockchain-based technology we directly pay tree planters who own land regardless of their location all over the world.
Smartphones enable communication, payments and monitoring tools.
No more expenses for offices, staff, overhead that accompany traditional intermediary organizations.
