rexbee··on Biocarbon Engineering's Drones Plant Trees by Dropping Germinated Seed Pods
From the article:

"Biocarbon Engineering also wants to help people in the community continue to get higher-paid, more technical jobs. “We train local people to be drone pilots,” says Fedorenko. “And they want that. They want to be in IT. They want to process data, they want to fly drones, they want to do agroforestry, they want to do regenerative agriculture, they want to create vertical farms . . . they want to do all this cool stuff. It’s not the ambition to be a seedling planter for $1 a day.”

The trees can also earn revenue through carbon credits. Worldview International Foundation’s work has been validated so that it can sell carbon offsets to companies; that money comes back to the community and keeps the work going. Biocarbon Engineering is now talking with brands that want to sponsor tree planting, so that when consumers make a purchase, a tree is planted. The drones could share data about specific trees with consumers. “We can literally see every single tree and the leaves on the tree if we need to,” she says. “It opens up this new market for people to see the connection with trees and to say, ‘Wow, this is my tree. I planted that.'”
