With the funding we create a “regenerative credit” for the property developer ; And capital to build the tools for this proposed network.

This regenerative credit allows the project to be built at closer to standard construction costs and yields of organic produce, ensuring its net plus nature.

Use of funds breakdown:

- 85% installation
- 15% network tools

Detailed explanation of use of funds:

The standard construction cost of the walls, roofs and lawns where we propose the farms is $24,000. The green wall, roof and mini food forest cost is $68,000. The added cost is $44,000. 85% of the Funds will become the regenerative credit for the property developer and will be used to fund the installation of the farms wich include: shop drawings, material and labor.  The other 15% will be used to build the tools and network to have more property developers to opt-in. 

Ideally we would like to raise between $15,000 and be matched with an additional $15,000.  Using 85% of this for construction, the property developer will  be more incentivized to build the farms having to come out of pocket with $18,500 for the added costs.  The ROI for this added cost is 12 years with just the organic crops and carbon credits. 

The other 15% of the funds will be used to build the MRV tools, the network and the service / maintenance system. 

All the plants and trees of these farms are perennial, thus reducing the service and maintenance costs down to almost zero. The result is net plus monetary and natural capital that can be further funded or monetized. 

The property developer is motivated to build these features. However, if we raise less than $30,000, they may need to be downgraded or reduced in size, but at least prototypes will be built. Any funding will help get this project closer to its full potential, and set a precedent for future projects of this kind.
