🌟PropTech Star of the week: Reseed

Reseed helps farmers sell carbon credits directly to the market. They partner with farmers around the world to fight climate change and reverse poverty. Reseed incentivizes the use of regenerative and traditional farming practices, making it easy for farmers to participate, at no cost. Famers simply upload data about their crops and reseed accurately measures, verifies, and creates carbon credits. Farmers are paid when credits are sold.

ReSeed provides auditable carbon credits and certification of co-benefits that can be applied to carbon offset programs, as well as corporate ESG reporting and marketing. ReSeed’s insetting certifications can be used to purchase carbon and co-benefits data from farmers in the supply chain.

ReSeed helps individuals calculate the carbon footprint of their household, as well as their backyard. After doing all they can to reduce their footprint, consumers can buy carbon from smallholder farmers to become carbon neutral. This provides a substantive way to help fight climate change by supporting smallholder farmers.

What do we like?

• Sustainability focused: Reseed has a mission to help offset carbon footprints and reward farmers in the process. It’s a noble cause.

• Technology-based: Reseed's protocols are unique in recognizing both current carbon stored on the land and net new carbon drawn down from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

• Data-centric: Farmers collect data describing the vegetation on their land (including crops), their current farming practices and answer survey questions about themselves that form the basis for tracking impact. Reseed is therefore collecting valuable data.

What are the risks? 

• Impact: It is arguable that selling carbon credits doesn’t impact carbon offsets as much as simply reducing carbon emissions via materials, practices, or other direct methods.

• Supply and demand: Like any market, the carbon credit market is subject to supply and demand principles. If carbon credits on the greater market become too expensive, buyers may be incentivized to reduce emissions to prevent the need to purchase credits at all. This would harm Reseed’s revenue.

• Value: The long term outlook of the carbon credit market is unclear. If more companies take measures to reduce carbon output, there theoretically would not be a need for a carbon credit market to offset such outputs.

Overall

Although Reseed’s misson is noble, their business model relies on a carbon credit market that could be non-existent in a future of increased carbon reduction manufacturing. The price of carbon credits fluctuates based on demand and supply. If many companies need to buy credits because they're emitting more than they're allowed, the price will go up, making it more economical for companies to reduce their emissions rather than buy expensive credits.

However, at the current state, Reseed may do well to provide a marketplace for farmers to sell their credits. They seem to be the only player in the current farm-to-market carbon credit industry. It remains to be seen how well the business grows and if they can corner the market in their favor.
