This is an interesting problem area, I recently talked with Mast about it - they started as Droneseed, and soon realized the whole seed-seedling-planting-managing process (not to mention funding) was pretty busted.

It's also really data-intensive, or it is if you want it to be effective. There's a lot of forestry and climate science that goes into whether a planting effort will be successful, not to mention a hell of a lot of back-breaking labor. But hopefully this sector will get the attention it needs now that people are seeing how badly it's been neglected in recent decades.
