Droneseed Partners with Shopify

Droneseed, a Serra Capital Ag Tech Fund portfolio company, announced on March 29 that it had partnered with Shopify, a leading provider of essential internet infrastructure for commerce. The two climate-focused companies have partnered up on carbon removal, and the restoration of forests affected by wildfires through a new type of forward-looking carbon offset. Shopify confirmed that it had purchased carbon offsets from Droneseed to remove 50,000 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere.

DroneSeed is scaling reforestation to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. As bigger, hotter and more frequent fires devastate more forested land each year, natural forest regeneration is in decline and additional infrastructure and technology is needed to regenerate native forests more quickly and completely. Acting as a one-stop-shop for reforestation, DroneSeed provides a wide range of reforestation services to get forest restoration projects up and running in weeks, not years; these services include seed collection, seedling cultivation, aerial drone-based seeding, and carbon offset generation.

Rapid reforestation, that is quicker, safer and ready to go at a moment’s notice.
