Who we are
Earthbanc is supporting tree planting and regenerative agroforestry projects with MRV software, funding and market linkages for circular bioeconomy agricultural and horticultural produce.
“Restoring and protecting ecosystems is vital to the future of life on this planet and avoiding runaway climate change. Growing up on a farm during extensive droughts in Australia, I witnessed first hand the impact of land degradation for nature and the community. Since then, I am proud to have successfully led large-scale restoration projects, however funding was always a struggle. With Earthbanc, we have combined practical land restoration experience with extensive FinTech knowledge and pioneering technology to ensure climate action is easy, effective and profitable.”
