Local Agriculture Market
Problem
The idea is to favor the economy of small farmers. By financing their production, through a social distribution fund.
Total to date
This is the total amount allocated to Local Agriculture Market.
About this idea
The non-profit foundation helps farmers in the production of organic products, and favors exchanges with local customers.
Local customers will have organic products with a low ecological impact. Farmers will not suffer from the low price imposed by distribution.
We will use the blockchain and virtual currency to support the exchange. This will help marketers travel to a new frontier.
The first steps to create the first Local Farm
- Support the purchase of land
- Support the creation of infrastructures (fruit trees, necessary technology)
- Building a trading platform is the first point.
- Support the first marketing actions, to encourage the first exchanges.
The project involves the cultivation of plants such as Mango, which have a high productivity and a good selling price. But it can be evaluated in other regions of the way the cultivation of other plants.
The fundamental factor is: To produce a good product, with organic methods, to encourage direct local trade between farmer and consumer. Trying to have a low energy impact thanks to the sun.
The project also includes a return to the Cardano network, hosting a stake pool powered by solar panels.
The fundamental metric will be a circular economy, which, once set in motion, feeds itself.
- Doing a test in a small area like Sicily will help us to better understand if the project can be extended to other areas of the world.
With the economy accumulated by the first agricultural farm, it is possible to finance other farms. Thus the farms can be connected to each other and begin the exchange of some products such as seeds.
The currency of exchange will be ADA or a contract that supports the Cardano network.
To make this dream come true, your support is needed, whoever lends us a hand will be able to visit our farm and be hosted for a short time in a small guesthouse. This will be our little thank you.
I hope that our model works and once realized it can also be repeated by you in other parts of the world.
