Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project was established in 2018, which exceeds the minimum age requirement of 3 months.
The Grant must be primarily focused on climate solutions (the group may do other work but the grant proposal should be directly related to climate solutions). The proposal should explicitly outline how this project will help reduce GHGs or is an important core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions.
The project's focus on organic farming and agroforestry addresses sustainable land use, which contributes to carbon sequestration and reduction of GHGs.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha round. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
The provided information does not indicate whether the project has received funding in previous rounds, or if they have, the current progress since the last funding round is not specified.
All returning grantees are expected to update their proposal, in addition to project updates the proposal should include lessons learned from previous work and how they will use the additional funding from the upcoming round. The updated proposal should indicate how additional funding will help the project meet its goals, and include a rough timeline for the project overall.
Without information on previous grant receipts, it's unclear if this project is a returning grantee and whether they have fulfilled these updating requirements.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the “realm of viability”. Even if a project may be at a very early stage, it still must seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
The project appears to be credible and practicable as it is already established and functioning with a clear focus on sustainable agriculture and environmental care, although it does not mention web3 technology.
Grantees can be eliminated from consideration in the round if they are found to be encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
There is no information provided that would indicate the project's involvement in such activities, but also no evidence to demonstrate a clean record in this aspect. Further investigation or monitoring may be required.
