Ex-NASA engineer to plant one billion trees using drones

The video discusses the alarming rate of deforestation, with 58,000 square miles of forest lost annually. Bio Carbon Engineering, an Oxford-based start-up, aims to combat this by planting 1 billion trees a year using drones. The process involves mapping deforested areas, deploying automated planting drones to plant germinated seeds, and using nutrient-rich seed pods to ensure successful growth. With two operators, 36,000 trees can be planted daily.

What is the purpose of the hydrogel in the seed pods?

How many trees can be planted in a single day with two operators?
