We are a web3 community building onchain trails to support agroforestry co-stewardship.
Get your hands dirty from the confort of your home.
What if we could grow an edible footprint in life? Like, what if we had the chance to support and enjoy productive agroecosystems, experience lifelong yields and retreats while sharing our seasonal agendas?π±
Then we could simply coordinate the sazonalities of long term agendas. We would find a more healthy rythym. We could build meaningful friendships and an intergenerational Stigmergy.π
Market-oriented agriculture destroyed he soil for short term profits. Those alive today are the first regenerators of those soils. Folks that have to trailblaze, access degraded Earth and hold strong to the calendar during the hard early years. These folks are not trained in schools, only in communities.π»ππ΄π«
Way back in the day, cultivating the previous generations legacy was the norm. Everyone had examples on how to act in a helthy way to continue reproducing that culture. They just lived enjoying the cyclical interactions with the environment which would contextualizes their journeys, rituals, celebrations, gastronomy, music, etc.
Although many of this culture has been dizimated, we try, in our own way, to build socio-ecological governance in the glocal level, using the Redemption Hill as our open laboratory of decentralized community agriculture.
In October, we hosted our first rooted experience for a web3 native group that came from Rio, SΓ£o Paulo, Floripa and Ucraine. Diving deep into Minas culture, besides tasting what's like to be hosted by a brazilian rural family, the visitors got to work and planted more than 80 nest with either bananas or papayas in a syntropic consortium where corn, pumpking and beans nest avocados, aΓ§ais, jackfruit and other perennials. For the short term we planted lots of rice, corn and cassava. π«π₯π½ππ«
We are using Hypercerts to recognize the innitial support to the early stages of the Redemption Hill Agroforestry System.
These certificates are untransferable, and can be used to gate forums and chatgroups and build ties between local stewards and global supporters. Incentives for supporters range from getting tickets to community events or new gardening tools to getting split fractions of the sale of a digital product from the Hill, different usecases are being considered and forum spaces are being opened to host topics. π§βπ«π¨βπΎπ¨βπ¬π©βπ»
Thanks to the Gitcoin Community we are able to bring the seasonal culture to the blockchain. Thanks to this community we had great guests over volunteering their energy both on the ground planting, and online building our Charmverse workspace.
On Charmverse we found web3 tools that allow us to share our local designs, follow updates and reports start testing with automated bounties for approved seasonal tasks, use forums to peer review and advise, organize permissions and keep a repository of common perennial agendas worldwide. All that is being shared with our Telegram chat group
Those that were not planting in the spring can engage by supporting through buying NFTs from the short and long term harvests. We are gathering our local stewards, volunteers and supporters together using Hatsprotocol.
Funds from the Rounds are helping us to build an $ETH treasure, maintain our IRL laboratory and digital workspace, onboard locals to web3 and designing an incentive's system.
Support us so we can continue building a legacy that you can access from your home :) Thank you! ππ±
