Service 03 — Land & Biomass
Agroforestry, where the supply chain starts.
Developing agroforestry programmes that support biodiversity, farmer livelihoods and more resilient biomass supply for CBG projects.
What it is
Trees and crops on
the same hectare.
Agro forestry means deliberately growing woody perennials alongside agriculture — as boundary rows, intercropped blocks or dedicated stands on land that food crops cannot use reliably.
For a bio-energy company it is not a side programme, it is upstream infrastructure. A digester needs a predictable tonnage arriving every week at a predictable moisture content. Agricultural residue alone is seasonal and contested. Planted biomass is the part of the supply curve you can actually control.
The environmental case and the commercial case point the same direction here, which is rare enough to be worth building a business around: more standing biomass, more soil carbon, better water retention, more resilient farmer income — and a plant that runs.
Where the land and the client's goals call for it, the same design discipline extends beyond feedstock species — to commercial fruit, long-term timber and medicinal plantings that diversify what a hectare can earn.
Sustainable Growth Model
Plantation
diversity.
A plantation programme designed around a single species is a monoculture with a different name. We mix categories against what the site and the client's goals actually call for.
Commercial Fruits
- Mango, Pomegranate
- Guava, Citrus, Date
- Custard Apple, Dragon Fruit
- Banana, Coconut
- Apple Ber, Chiku
Long-Term Timber
- Teakwood (Sagwan)
- Red & White Sandalwood
- Shisham (Rosewood)
- Nilgiri (Eucalyptus)
- Desi Babool, Mahuda
Medicinal Plants
- Ashwagandha, Aloe Vera
- Shatavari, Saragvo
- Amla, Ardusa, Khadir
- Arjuna, Bael, Kanchnar
Greenhouse Crops
- Exotic vegetables
- Specialty flowers
- Premium fruits
- Medicinal herbs
- Exotic mushrooms
Oxygen Producers
- Neem (Azadirachta)
- Peepal (sacred fig)
- Banyan
- Bamboo varieties
- Ashoka tree
Scope of Work
From soil survey
to standing crop.
Plantation programmes fail on agronomy and on trust. We work on both — the right species for the site, and terms a farmer can afford to believe in.
Land, Soil & Water Assessment
Understanding what a parcel can actually carry — soil profile, rainfall, irrigation access and degradation history — before any species is committed to.
Species Selection
Matching fast-rotation biomass species to site conditions, farmer economics and the calorific and moisture profile the plant needs.
Plantation Design
Block, boundary or intercropped layouts that raise biomass yield without displacing the food crop the land already supports.
Farmer Aggregation
Building the grower network — contract farming terms, buy-back assurance and extension support that make participation worth a farmer's risk.
Harvest Cycle Planning
Staggering rotations across the catchment so biomass arrives continuously rather than in a glut the plant cannot store.
Feedstock Integration
Linking plantation output directly to digester demand, closing the loop between the land and the plant it supplies.
Why it pays twice
One programme,
four returns.
Feedstock security
A plant dependent on spot-market residue is a plant exposed to every price spike and bad season. Dedicated plantation acreage converts that exposure into a contracted supply base.
Land brought back
Degraded and marginal land that will not carry a reliable food crop can carry biomass — putting idle acreage into productive use without competing for prime farmland.
Income the farmer keeps
Trees and energy grasses provide a second income stream on the same holding, on a different calendar to the main crop, with assured offtake behind it.
Biodiversity and carbon
Mixed plantation improves soil structure, water retention and habitat, while standing biomass and soil carbon build a sequestration case that supports the carbon programme.
Agro forestry enquiry
Have land, or have farmers?
Whether you hold acreage looking for a use or a grower network looking for assured offtake, the conversation starts the same way — what will grow there, and who buys it.
