We combine natural farming with modern technology, aiming to create micro-processing centers for small and family hemp farmers, further bolstering regional economies and seed preservation efforts.\n\n*Our aim and impact:*\n\n**Seed Sovereignty** \nDecentralize seed preservation, ensuring seeds are adaptable to local conditions, and empowering communities to take charge of their agricultural future.\n**Boost Regional Economies** \nThrough the establishment of micro-processing centers, small and family hemp farmers get resources and knowledge to process their produce, ensuring better profitability and lesser carbon emissions.\n**Promote Regeneration** \nWith an emphasis on hemp's environmental benefits and regenerative processing and packaging methods, our network advocates for eco-friendly agricultural practices and supports other initiatives\n**Educate and Engage**\nThe project also strives to raise awareness about seed diversity's significance, hemp's potential, and the importance of regeneration.\n**DAO Operator Program**\nWe have initiated the \"DAO Operator Program\" with BanklessDAO_TR to empower individuals to engage with decentralized organizations, complete tasks, and earn token payments. This program is designed to not only offer immediate opportunities but also to equip participants with the skills and experience needed to thrive in global DAOs.\n\n\n### Aiming for Impact\nEarthist Network's project is about more than just agriculture; it's a movement towards a regenerative, and community-centric future. \nWe aim for a future where seeds remain accessible and diverse, protecting our planet's agricultural heritage and ensuring a regenerative food system for generations to come.\n\n**Significance of Seed Diversity**\nIn the contemporary agricultural landscape, 75% of plant genetic diversity has been lost since the 1900s. Astonishingly, out of around 30,000 edible plant species globally, only 150 are cultivated, and a mere 30 provide the majority of our diets. Such a narrow focus on crop cultivation increases vulnerability to diseases, pests, and changing climate conditions, threatening global food security.\n**Decentralizing Seed Preservation**\nCentralized seed banks, although essential, are vulnerable to natural and political disruptions. The Earthist vision of decentralized seed banks disperses the responsibility of seed conservation. Utilizing blockchain technology, the initiative ensures traceability, authenticity, and security of seed data. The goal is not just to preserve seeds, but to make them accessible and adaptable to varied local conditions.\n\n**Rediscovering Heirloom Seeds**\nIn 2019, we embarked on a mission to rediscover lost local heirloom seeds and created our first seed bank in 2022\n\n**The Role of Hemp**\nHemp, often misjudged due to its association with cannabis, is a primary focus of Earthist endeavors. It grows rapidly, has myriad uses from textiles to medicine, and offers environmental benefits, including carbon sequestration.\n\nOur engagement with heirloom seeds involves a comprehensive chain of activities:\nPlanting\nHarvesting\nSeed Collection\nProcessing & Packaging\n\n\nYou can find more information at https://earthist.gitbook.io/earthist\n\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "earthist", "projectTwitter": "earthistdao"}, "recipient": "0xc2d706398A978b8c5Aa4EFCd824b57E978841107"}}
