Unleashing the power of agroecology through global community
Supporting education and innovation.
AGRii DAO aims to foster innovation in agronomy and take agroecology to scale for the benefits of all people by empowering family farmers and university groups through resources. It is an open platform for proposals that are voted upon by AGRii token holders.
Our core mission is to fund reserach project based on an action-oriented collaboration between farmers and local researchers that will deliver contextual solutions to local problems and bring a human-centered perspective to innovation efforts. As well as increased awareness about agroecology and its benefits in achieving sustainable agricultural and food systems.
The Challenge
Today's food and agriculture systems fail to deliver sustainable development for all. None of the approaches so far have succeeded in transforming these systems because they have not addressed the root causes of hunger, poverty, and inequality. Farmers have never been placed at the center of co-innovation systems, and they often grow crops solely for survival rather than with a sense of purpose. Critical economic barriers prevent them from adopting new agricultural practices. Inefficient delivery of allocated funds is also a major issue. There is a critical need in investments in research and development. As well as shift in cultural values that can play a significant role in shaping policies and decision-making.
The Solution
AGRiiDAO is an open cooperative that anyone can join, with the goal of supporting and financing on-farm projects that combine research and innovation with indigenous knowledge and practices. As well as help increased awareness about agroecology and its benefits in achieving sustainable agricultural and food systems.
The AGRii DAO collects data, co-develops IP with researchers, grows a portfolio of assets represented as IP-NFTs while funded projects provide quantified values that are extremely important for our future.
Community
AGRii DAO is a permissionless platform that welcomes everyone who shares our vision and values and wants to contribute to the project's success.
Diversity is essential, and we recognise its importance in the DAO space. DAO structure alone is not enough; we also need the 4Cs in Web3: Community, Culture, Collaboration, and Coordination.
If you would like to get involved and become a part of AGRii DAO, the best way is to join us.
