Jul22493 15. Farmers across Europe are facing mounting climate stress, rising costs, and income volatility. Agroforestry is increasingly being recognised as a practical solution to improving soil resilience, biodiversity, water management, and long-term farm economics. As a result, European public policies and local authorities are progressively supporting hybrid models that combine production and regeneration. At the forefront of this shift is Treesition, a European agroforestry and sustainable investment company bridging agriculture, environmental impact, and long-term value creation. We spoke with Founder and CEO Daniel Dos Santos for more information. The initial seed of Treesition was planted in 2018, when Daniel Dos Santos first encountered the paulownia tree – a discovery that sparked the beginning of a prosperous journey. Daniel worked closely with his friend Michaël to form the foundations of Treesition, a company committed to promoting sustainable development through the offering of ecoresponsible investment solutions. Treesition took root in 2021, specialising in the design, structure, and management of agroforestry projects – primarily based on fast-growing and high-value tree species – planted on agricultural land in partnership with local farmers. The company adapts each plantation to local soil and climate conditions, and structures long-term value creation based on real assets, namely wood production and its industrial applications. In this process, farmers are not intermediaries but long-term partners operating at the heart of the ecosystem. With this structured business model, Treesition serves a niche market, consisting primarily of private investors seeking tangible, long-term, and impact-driven investments; professionals and wealth advisers looking for diversified and compliant solutions; farmers and landowners wishing to diversify income while enhancing soil, biodiversity, and resilience; and institutional and corporate partners interested in environmental impact and sustainable value chains. At its core, Treesition is on a mission to reconcile ecology and economy by proving that environmental regeneration can also be economically viable, transparent, and scalable. Through its end-to-end services, the company contributes significantly to climate resilience, biodiversity, and local economies: restoring agricultural land through agroforestry; providing farmers with stable, complementary income; and offering investors a concrete, long-term alternative aligned with real assets. What distinguishes Treesition in a competitive market is the deeply human, long-term nature of its model. “Treesition is not built around short-term performance or speculative narratives,” Daniel shared. “It is the result of close collaboration between farmers, investors, technical experts, and regulatory authorities, with a shared objective: building a sustainable and credible agroforestry ecosystem that works in practice, on the ground.” Being based in Europe is a significant advantage for Treesition’s model, as the region combines one of the world’s biggest agricultural landscapes with a strong demand for sustainable, regulated, and long-term investment solutions. This unique blend creates significant opportunities to scale agroforestry models across multiple countries and climates. The continent is a global leader in sustainable agriculture and environmental standards, supported by public policies, research institutions, and local farming expertise. Europe provides a robust regulatory framework, with Treesition operating under the supervision of authorities such as the AMF in France and the FSMA in Belgium. Choosing to work across multiple European jurisdictions has indeed increased the complexity and rigour of the company’s regulatory journey – requiring time, discipline, and resilience – but it has also fundamentally shaped the robustness of the Treesition agroforestry model, enhancing the company’s trust, transparency, and cross-border credibility. Now that the Treesition model is well established and regulated across France, Belgium, and Switzerland, 2026 marks the beginning of a broader market expansion into new European territories. In parallel, the company also plans to expand its portfolio of tree species, including fruit trees, in order to diversify income streams, enhance resilience, and better adapt projects to local agricultural realities. As it looks to the future, one of Treesition’s key priorities is the creation of a secondary market for its solutions. This would improve liquidity for investors while also strengthening longterm security and flexibility for farmers and forestry partners, representing an important step in the journey of professionalising agroforestry-based investments. The company also aims to certify its plantations for carbon credits to better quantify and valorise the climate impact of its agroforestry projects, while remaining aligned with rigorous standards. It will also pursue ISO 9001 certification, reflecting its commitment to maintaining operational excellence as it grows. “Overall, 2026 will be about transforming strong foundations into a scalable, liquid, and fully mature European platform for agroforestry and sustainable investment,” concluded Daniel. “Treesition represents a new generation of European companies aiming to reconcile environmental impact, agricultural resilience, and financial transparency, rather than treating those dimensions separately. Our ambition is not only to grow, but to help structure and professionalise an emerging sector – setting higher standards that benefit farmers, investors, and territories alike.” Contact: Daniel Dos Santos Company: Treesition Web Address: www.treesition.com Best Sustainable Agroforestry Investment Company 2025
