AirSeed
AirSeed is a fast-growing environmental restoration company that has created specialised tree-planting drones equipped with state-of-the-art technology and proprietary seed pod biotechnology to rapidly replant large areas of land to accelerate global-scale reforestation. AirSeed's mission is to restore lost biodiversity across Australia and the world.
Key to our approach is cutting-edge drone technology, artificial intelligence, and data-driven intelligence. This powerful combination allows us to optimise our efforts and deliver efficient solutions that drive meaningful change. Additionally, our proprietary seed pod biotechnology plays a crucial role in restoring ecosystems and promoting biodiversity.

Overview
AirSeed drones can each plant up to 40,000 seed pods a day, access remote, hazardous and inaccessible areas and GPS tag every seed pod planted. AirSeed’s solution is approximately 25x faster and 80% more cost effective than manual planting methods. Planting trees at scale is vital to tackling the climate crisis and reaching net-zero emission targets.
Seed Pod's
Traditional planting techniques are labour intensive, expensive, and ineffective in mitigating today’s rate of deforestation. The majority of programs don’t focus on biodiversity and are unable to plant in inaccessible areas.
AirSeed’s seed pod biotechnology is soil and species specific, nutrient and mineral rich, and aids early-stage seedling growth. Combined with their drones, AirSeed can plant approximately 1,000 highly-effective pods with a biodiverse suite of species every 10 minutes.

AirSeed Process
AirSeed’s restoration process can be broken into a 4-step process:
Mapping and ground truthing:
terrain mapping, soil analysis and ecosystem modelling identifies beneficial species to plant and informs the site and species-specific seed pod biotech design.
Seed pod manufacturing:
nutrient-rich pods are made by AirSeed’s mobile manufacturing plant.
Planting:
drones fly autonomously whilst logging the GPS location of every pod planted.

Benefits
Restoring biodiversity is critical for the health of our planet. Natural born solutions, such as planting trees, are the most effective methods for removing CO2 from our atmosphere and combatting the effects of climate change. Planting trees purifies our air, improves soil quality for our food, and regulates our marine life.
Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 interconnected goals established by the United Nations in 2015. The SDGs provide a comprehensive framework for addressing the world's most pressing economic, social, and environmental challenges.
Global impact groups play a crucial role in supporting the SDGs by creating mechanisms to mobilise resources, collaborate with stakeholders, and drive collective action toward achieving the goals. These groups have the capacity to leverage their expertise and resources to make a significant positive impact.
