Sand to Green

About Sand to Green

Sand to Green is a French company founded in 2022 with the mission to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture by providing digital tools that simplify, scale, and secure the design and monitoring of agroforestry projects.

Sand to Green started by developing its own projects, before  designing a platform to scale regen ag, making its expertise and methodology accessible to corporates, developers, and NGOs aiming to implement regenerative agriculture at scale.

Key Features and Innovations

• Digital Agroforestry Design Platform: Sand to Green has developed a software platform that aggregates geospatial, climatic, and agronomic data to design optimized agroforestry systems. The tool generates tailored scenarios for land use, crop mixes, and water management, enabling rapid decision-making and robust feasibility assessments.
• Integrated MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification): The platform includes a built-in MRV module to track carbon sequestration, biodiversity indicators, and socio-economic outcomes, aligning with voluntary and compliance carbon markets as well as corporate reporting standards (e.g., CSRD).
• Decision-Support & Financial Tracking: From site selection to long-term monitoring, the platform supports both agronomic and financial modeling, helping clients derisk investments and report transparently on outcomes.
• Scalable Knowledge Transfer: By digitizing years of field expertise and protocols, Sand to Green enables large-scale adoption of regenerative practices across different regions and value chains (coffee, cocoa, cereals, etc.).

Market and Partnerships

• Target Markets: Corporates (food & beverage, cosmetics, energy), NGOs, and project developers active in carbon farming, supply chain resilience, and land restoration. Priority regions include North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Southern Europe.
• Strategic Partnerships: Collaborations with research institutions (CIRAD, AgroParisTech, Mohammed VI University) and technology providers (satellite data, agronomic analytics) to strengthen both scientific credibility and platform capabilities.

Environmental and Social Benefits

• Carbon Sequestration & Reporting: Transparent, science-based metrics on carbon capture (up to 13 tCO₂/ha/year) and ecosystem services.
• Scalable Impact: the platform enables hundreds of projects across multiple geographies.
• Economic & Social Development: by empowering corporates and local partners, Sand to Green fosters resilient supply chains, new farmer income streams, and local job creation.
