The FarmTree Tool
The FarmTree Tool is a software model + online interface created to design agroforestry scenarios, and project their impact on carbon, financial, and environmental indicators.
The tool combines site-specific farm, climate, soil and species data into a plot scenario, and generates up to 50 years of projections.

The FarmTree Toolkit
An Agroforestry Model
The FarmTree Model is composed of interconnected sub-models which simulate the dynamics of an agricultural system (soil, nutrients, water, plant growth, production, carbon, and finance).
Several datasets are combined (user data, climate and soil data at the location, and species characteristics) to generate the desired plot projections indicators.

Our Landscape Tool
We aggregate plot projections from different scenarios into a landscape-level impact assessment.
The landscape model allows to compare the performance of Business-as-Usual (BAU) versus alternative scenarios (such as agroforestry) to estimate total Project Impact.

CAFS Database
The FarmTree model is linked to our in-house Components of Agricultural Systems (CAFS) Database, where +900 species and inputs with relevance in agroforestry are defined. This includes perennial and annual species and their biophysical and financial characteristics.
This online database is crucial for effective data management, transparency, and accuracy of the FarmTree Tool. Perfect for agroforestry experts who want to take their projects to the next level.
