## About

TROFACO is a socio-economic enterprise that connects tropical farming communities with organisations seeking credible climate action.

## Key Concepts

- **Certificate**: A unique, verifiable document linking a sponsor to a specific number of trees at a specific planting site and area. Each certificate has a unique code.
- **Planting Site**: A geographical location where TROFACO operates reforestation. Sites contain one or more planting areas.
- **Planting Area**: A defined zone within a site where trees are planted. Areas have GPS boundaries, species composition, and photographic documentation.
- **CO₂ Removal**: TROFACO calculates CO₂ sequestration per tree based on species, age, and region. Methodology is publicly documented.
- **Documentation**: Every planting area is photographically documented over time with GPS-tagged photos, creating a transparent timeline of growth.
