Despite being a young company, Terradot is making strides in Brazil. Since 2023, they've spread over 48,000 tons of rock across 1,800 hectares. Recent trials show that tropical conditions enhance weathering rates - this offtake lets us test this at scale!

Brazil is an ag powerhouse with suboptimal soils - farmers and governments are primed with interest in soil restoration.
Terradot works with EMBRAPA, Brazil's agricultural research agency, opens the door to 1+ million hectares of land and the trust of with farming communities.
