Swaas foundation
Farmer program
A farmer livelihood model built around planting income, maintenance income, and future carbon participation.
Why farmers matter
Smallholder farmers are the foundation of the journey
These livelihoods anchor the platform in real field work, community care, and trusted stewardship.
Why smallholder farmers matter
Farmers bring local knowledge, climate resilience, and a direct relationship to every tree sponsorship.
How farmers earn
Farmers earn from planting, maintaining saplings, and sharing proof of growth with the platform.
Tree planting income
Each planted tree supports upfront farm labour, seedlings, and nursery care.
Maintenance income
Ongoing payments reward watering, weeding, and seasonal protection for the growing grove.
Farmer video income
Future updates may reward farmers for sharing photos, GPS notes, and video messages.
Future carbon revenue participation
Future carbon revenue participation may become available when eligible projects are verified and credits are issued.
Farmer onboarding
Support farmer onboarding with care and transparency
The platform will help bring farmers into the program without promising unearned credit revenue.
We are preparing the public website to capture interest while keeping farmer earnings and verification language accurate.
