4. Seed Ball
ECOSOM’s biochar-infused seed balls regrow Somalia’s forests 3× faster, employing communities to fight desertification.
Enhanced Germination
30–60% success rate (3–5× higher than conventional planting)
Biochar-Infused
Contains ECOSOM’s biochar for moisture retention (+20–60%) and nutrient delivery
Drought-Resistant Species
Acacia, Moringa, and other native trees adapted to arid climates
Low-Cost Deployment

ECOSOM Seed Ball
Initiative.
Core Technology
- Drought-resistant native tree seeds (acacia, moringa)
- 20% ECOSOM biochar for water retention
- Protective clay shell
Land Restoration Strategy
- Prosopis Replacement Protocol
- Plant 3 seed balls per cleared Prosopis stump
- Achieves 70% natural suppression of regrowth
- High-Survival Design
- 60–75% germination rate in field conditions
- 50% survival at 24 months (no watering)
Scalability
- Current production: 1000 seed balls kg/month
- 2026 target: 5000 kg/month
