How TraceX Baseline Assessment Empowers SGI’s Climate Action Programs

The Sustainable Green Initiative (SGI) works tirelessly to combat climate change by distributing, planting, and nurturing fruit trees in vulnerable regions. SGI’s mission is not just planting trees but ensuring they thrive—monitoring saplings for three years and collaborating with partner organizations to drive measurable impact. To scale their work and meet growing documentation needs for carbon programs and funding partners, SGI adopted TraceX’s Baseline Assessment feature to digitize and centralize plantation and farmer data.

About the Company

The Sustainable Green Initiative (SGI) works tirelessly to combat climate change through large-scale tree-planting initiatives. It meticulously distributes, plants, and nurtures fruit trees across vast regions. Their commitment extends beyond planting to ensure high survival rates by monitoring saplings for three years.

Use Case

Accurate and effective tracking of Agroforestry activities for Carbon Credits using DMRV. 

Features Used

  • Farmer Profiling 
  • Farm Plotting 
  • Baselining 
  • Project Management 
  • Tree Management 
  • Climate Risk Management 
  • Custom Activity Reporting

Challenges

Managing largescale planting across dispersed geographies required SGI to manually collect data on farmers, land plots, and sapling needs. This led to: 

  • Fragmented data capture: Farmer profiles, plantation details, and sapling demands stored in spreadsheets or offline records. 
  • No single source of truth: Difficult to consolidate KYC documents, plot maps, and plantation baselines for reporting. 
  • Inefficient planning: Sapling demand and plantation activity reports were delayed, slowing operational decisions and partner updates. 
  • Missed opportunities for carbon credit documentation: Without consistent baseline data, proving impact for funding and sustainability claims was complex. 

Solutions

SGI integrated TraceX’s Baseline Assessment module, configured as a farm/kyari activity, to streamline data collection and planning: 

Baseline Assessment for Agroforestry

Farmer Profiling 

Captured farmer demographics, socioeconomic profiles, and KYC details—including carbon credit documentation—on a single platform. 

 
Farm/Plantation Data 

Mapped farm polygons with geocoordinates, water sources, and soil types to create a detailed environmental baseline. 

 
Tree Information  

Logged existing tree species, age, and height for richer ecological context. 

 
Sapling Demand 

Recorded sapling species and quantity requirements during field visits, instantly aggregating demand into actionable reports. 

Configurable Digital Workflow 

Field users could capture all baseline data in a structured, activity-based workflow that synced with SGI’s central system in real time.

The Results

  • Operational Efficiency: Baseline data collection time reduced by 60%, with instant synchronization from field to headquarters. 
  • Transparency & Reporting: Centralized farmer and plantation data allowed SGI to share accurate, auditready reports with partners and carbon credit programs. 
  • Improved Planning: Consolidated sapling demand reports enabled proactive nursery management and better resource allocation. 
  • Higher Engagement: Field teams and partner organizations gained clarity and ownership, ensuring smoother project execution and higher survival rates for saplings.

Key Takeaways

  • Digital baseline assessments unlock clarity: Comprehensive profiling and mapping ensure nothing gets lost in manual processes. 
  • Sustainability reporting becomes seamless: Capturing farmer and plantation data upfront strengthens carbon credit claims and funding opportunities. 
  • Planning transforms from reactive to proactive: With sapling demand data at their fingertips, SGI optimized supply and improved outcomes. 
  • TraceX scales impact: By embedding baseline capture into field workflows, SGI can expand planting programs with confidence and measurable results.
