Areas of Land Twice as Big as California Will Be Returned to Their Former Glory with First of Many $14M Investments

Thankfully, one company recently announced that it plans to revitalize over 100 million hectares of land all over the world to ensure the planet survives and even thrives for generations to come.

The company invests millions of dollars into regenerating nature, including improving soil quality, reforesting, and protecting clean water sources. And Cultivo recently announced that it’s taking on its biggest project yet.

It’s important to understand that these 100 hectares are separated into dozens of locations all around the world. Though, Cultivo reported that 31 of those areas are within the United States.

First and foremost, the world finally understands just how important it is that the world significantly cuts down its fossil fuel and greenhouse emissions. And Cultivo has reported that its project will decrease the planet’s carbon dioxide by three gigatons, which is more than half of the US’ annual emission.

And what Cultivo wants people to understand is that revitalizing the land isn’t just good for the planet, it’s also a financial investment. If the land functions as it should, landowners will make more money.

Manuel Piñuela, CEO and co-founder of Cultivo explained, “Landowners of all types—from corporate landowners to preservation groups, to private landowners—they already know that their land is degraded, but they want to understand: how can their land bounce back?”

By improving the natural world around the farms, they were able to rid the land of disease, improve the soil, and consequently ensured the businesses stayed profitable.

And thanks to those same practices, the existing soil is lacking the nutrients that produce needs to grow. Therefore, Cultivo is spending millions on improving the soil all over the world to ensure farmers can keep farming and the world can be fed.

As experts have seen, climate change is directly affecting the planet’s weather, including doubt, heat waves, and natural disasters. So, by cutting down on carbon emissions and protecting the atmosphere as a whole, the land will naturally recover over time.

And the company believes that its millions upon millions of dollars in investments will be returned as the world recovers from the past 100 years of fossil fuel pollution and overfarming.

Piñuela believes that as the governments and companies of the world realize that they need help saving their land and reducing carbon emissions, companies like Cultivo will make a fortune.

But the majority of people agree that it really does need saving, so hopefully, Cultivo’s 100 million hectare project will not only help feed the world right now, but also ensure the land and the planet as a whole continue to function for millennium to come.

These technologies encompass various functions, including deployment of NBS, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of NBS, transparency enhancement for NBS, and connecting people and projects in NBS.

The monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of NBS employs satellite monitoring for accurate tracking and assessment of nature-based solutions.

Connecting people and projects in NBS involves leveraging mobile apps and platforms to establish connections between local communities and markets that offer better remuneration for their products related to nature-based solutions.

Several key trends are anticipated to drive market growth over the next five to ten years, including improved valuation and reporting, policy and capacity buildings, consolidation and integration, and innovations from the Global South.

The primary driver for market growth won’t be technology itself but the effective formulation of policies and the development of human capacity and community engagement.

Some of the most significant innovations in nature tech are anticipated to originate from the Global South, emphasizing diverse perspectives and approaches.

The sector is expected to garner both respect and capital commensurate with its contributions.

Given the urgency of the crises at hand, the innovation, speed, and scalability offered by technology, as exemplified by nature tech, are imperative in steering us toward a trajectory of a stable and nature-abundant planet.

Simultaneously, Cultivo’s initiatives contribute to the protection of species, the maintenance of healthy soil, and the preservation of clean water. Moreover, the company’s work leads to job creation and the protection of livelihoods, addressing social dimensions.

Collaborating with NGOs and landowners, Cultivo packages these portfolios for investment readiness. The investment is then structured to match the natural capital stack, facilitating funds for sustainable activities focused on the restoration and protection of nature.

One of Cultivo’s unique contributions is in acknowledging the soil moisture potential, emphasizing the economic value of preserving nature over its destruction.

As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, the emergence of nature tech, facilitated by companies like Cultivo, signifies a growing focus on innovative solutions for a sustainable future. The intersection of finance, technology, and nature conservation holds promise for addressing the complex environmental and social challenges faced by industries worldwide.
