This is done by creating the most natural, healthy, and sustainable products possible, and through regenerative practices, community involvement, and educational workshops.\n \n\nCommunity Yaupon Supplier Program\n\nBeyond selling yaupon tea, we are working to enable the creation, exchange, and retirement of blockchain verified carbon and eco credits, derived from the tangible ecological benefits of our community yaupon supplier program. \n\nThis ongoing community supplier program enables local land stewards (farmers, land managers, and landowners) here in the southeastern US to benefit both financially and ecologically from the sustainable harvesting and management of their yaupon holly, often considered a nuisance crop due to its excessive growth. \n\nWhile this program already allows for our suppliers to benefit ecologically from the various positive ecosystem services provided through sustainable yaupon holly management (i.e increased water, soil, and air quality, as well as improved biodiversity and carbon sequestration potential), we aim for them to benefit economically as well through the sale of associated carbon and eco credits. \n\n\nGIS Habitat Analysis Tool\n\nThis will be done with the help of our GIS Habitat Analysis tool, which will enable us to better record the positive ecosystem benefits of sustainable yaupon growth and management, using a combination of GIS/remote sensing, drone, and ground-truth data. \n\nThis open-source, web-based, GIS Habitat Analysis tool will allow us to record, analyze, and provide the necessary verifiable data required for the creation and sale of associated carbon/eco credits derived from our community supplier program, with the help of RegenNetwork and their carbon and eco credit marketplace. \n\n\nFunding\n\nWe are thus seeking funding to provide support for the development and deployment of our open-source GIS habitat Analysis Tool. This includes the purchase of specialized remote sensing drone hardware /software, along with ecological data collection equipment and staffing for continuous ground-truth data collection. \n\nAll the code for our GIS Habitat Analysis tool will be open-source via our Github, along with how we integrate with various web 3.0 infrastructure associated. \n\nWe believe this project can provide a necessary foundation and framework for other like-minded projects and organizations in the climate space seeking to reduce their carbon emissions and begin revaluing the many measurable benefits of healthy, naturally functioning ecological systems using open-source satellite and blockchain tech.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "YauponTeaCo_NC"}, "recipient": "0x3BF1447785664684709A986D432cA45B5bdfbb7a"}}
