Nurseryz.io ships the data layer that Gold Standard, Plan Vivo and REDD+ verification bodies actually need — GPS-stamped, photo-evidenced, survival-tracked from day one.
Methodology eligibility
Each carbon standard has its own gates. We track all three, surface eligibility per programme, and generate the verifier-ready paperwork.
The premium carbon standard. Strictest verification gates, highest credit price. Requires defensible survival evidence and complete chain-of-custody from nursery to harvest.
Community-led carbon programmes. Lower gates than Gold Standard but requires demonstrated benefit-sharing with smallholder farmers — which Nurseryz.io captures by default.
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation. Best fit for tree-heavy agroforestry mixes — shade trees, timber, fruit. Programme-level verification rather than per-batch.
The three gates
Every credit starts as a seedling. Three checkpoints decide whether it ends as a verified tonne of CO₂.
What % of distributed seedlings have been actually surveyed by a field visit, SMS reply, or QR scan? Without this, you can't claim anything.
Gate: ≥ 70–90% surveyedWhat % of surveyed distributions have a GPS-stamped photo of surviving trees? This is the "proof of life" verifiers actually want.
Gate: ≥ 50–80% photo-evidencedWhat % of distributions have field-captured GPS coordinates within district centroids? Without it, you can't claim deforestation avoidance.
Gate: ≥ 85–95% GPS-lockedThe economics
Worked example for a 10,000-seedling coffee + cocoa programme in Northern Uganda, year 3.
All figures conservative IPCC Tier 2 factors. Final issuance requires methodology audit and the underlying photo/GPS evidence captured during field visits — which Nurseryz.io provides as the data layer.
If you're running an agroforestry programme that should be earning carbon credits — but can't prove it to a verifier — we should talk.
