﻿🌱﻿ AgroforestDAO is an agricultural network harnessing the power of blockchain to build a cosmolocal community agriculture adapted to the 21st century. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmYCJHdDjjzepZLw6h5cEbaBWmfUdgiP2zMcrhoo4Ei2yB">Redemption Hill, 15 months-old AgroforestDAO is a pioneering initiative that integrates blockchain technology with agroforestry to create a decentralized and globalized model of agricultural production and community governance. By leveraging Web3 solutions, AgroforestDAO fosters engagement through gamified governance, education, and reputation-building, ultimately contributing to the expansion of regenerative finance (ReFi) in the agricultural sector. The project seeks to establish intergenerational and perennial production systems that transcend traditional agricultural models by using community-based practices. The DAO's goal is to build a global community of stakeholders who support and participate in sustainable agricultural initiatives. By combining blockchain’s transparency, immutability and open protocols with agroecological knowledge, AgroforestDAO aims to create an ecosystem where stakeholders can play different roles, such as apprentice, guide, mentor, professional, investor, institutions, land owners and volunteers, engaging in positive sum actions.<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUmtxnoYBZ8kXCk3X8o8C7XJuFTPNobfiLriSbpbQvv9t"> <h2>Building a Rooted Network Society</h2>AgroforestDAO network is made of local agroecossystems managed by stewards connected to the network and exchanging many different capitals involved in the reproduction of food forest culture. We leverage the social validation that happens during tourism, volunteering, and regional events to attest stewardship while exchanging the culture. This contribution recognition feeds the community channels of Retroactive Funding, Commitment Pools, QF Rounds, Joint Ventures and other forms of resource allocation.&nbsp; Early last year we received minigrants from Arbitrum, from Gitcoin donors, web2 donors and these funds are now being streamed to a newborn network of stewards building different forms of value to the DAO.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcP9UJGAAt9hTWqyf4SGi4kYqQBTYk45LKg9W2vdFrWZT">in September we announced our first online learning journey and planted the rice, peanuts, corn and other summer crops in our pilot agroecosystem, Redemption Hill.&nbsp; The “Jornada AgroforestDAO” happened in October and thanks to a professional SM campaign focused on Instagram and Linkedin we got 100 applications that resulted in 80 contacts in our Telegram and 20 built their agroforestry project profiles in our Charmverse. They experienced being in a bounty quest using the Impact Miner from AtlantisDAO and were able to apply and donate to many projects in GG22.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUCpQwg2dvsKYeKWwMN1Dbk2avPiBuWESp4ZF18itqut2"> Last December we ran a QF round for the apprentices holding POAPs from our 6-week AgroforestDAO Journey. In the round there were 13 local projects and one collective safe account for the apprentices to start practicing governance. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmRP4UoZKrfUF9FvY2p4oypaQFHqUUxYKqugGS926KQCzg"> In January there’s a lot going on also, things are full speed in web3… We are using the Sarafu Network on Celo, to create Commitment Pools of vouchers for different products and services. We are starting to certify and qualify volunteering in our network by empowering hosts to manage keys in a Unlock-Protocol account. Some of our nodes are members of web2 volunteering networks such as Backpackers and Workaway and the demand for support from hosts and volunteers emerged. So the AgroforestDAO Volunteer Network is being built with a combination of Unlock-Protocol for certification and e-mail onboarding and Sarafu Network commitment pools for liquidity access. Huge thank you to all the Open Source builders out there.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmbT8j7Q4ZusHVmWMYrHzD4V91oQLy7CxD5re5SHJ3DoYd"> February will see the launch of our second learning journey, where we hope to at least 2x our network of rooted members. And, there are many more branches to that tree among others the collaborations for the first Brazilian Pop-up City to happen from April 22nd to May 22nd in Florianópolis. We were invited with the condition of working to build open agroecological onchain primitives. Join us at <a href="Ipe.city" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ipe.city</a>&nbsp;There’s more, there are requests for mentorship support, for a online marketplace, regional meet-ups and what not. We understand the need of combining the digital, social, ecological tools we have for the purpose of increasing the quality, quantity and diversity of Life after our local interventions, and that’s our North Star. Please support us so we can continue bootstraping many rooted community ventures ﻿🌴﻿﻿🌳﻿

<h2>Our Vision</h2>We cultivate living systems that restore ecosystem vitality, transforming human interactions with the natural world from sources of environmental depletion to powerful mechanisms of ecological renewal. Our work spans agriculture, technology, education, and community development, creating regenerative pathways that heal and reconnect human and ecological networks.<h2> </h2><h2>1. Regenerative Agriculture Systems</h2><h3>Kendir Hemp Project</h3>The Kendir Hemp Project serves as our foundational initiative focused on revitalizing Turkish hemp agriculture. For seven years, our core team has cultivated, processed, and sold hemp products, creating a viable model for regenerative business. We've preserved heirloom cannabis seeds in our off-grid seed bank, safeguarding Türkiye's agricultural heritage. Through distribution of over 16 million hemp seeds across diverse regions, we've expanded the regenerative hemp economy while working closely with small-scale farmers. Our developing decentralized micro-processing facilities address infrastructure gaps, ensuring economic benefits remain within rural communities while creating a network of living laboratories for agricultural innovation. <h3>Regenerative Cotton Project</h3>In partnership with Raddis Cotton and Hasat Cooperative, we transform conventional cotton cultivation into regenerative systems. Through integrated practices including cover cropping, minimal tillage, and biological inputs, we rebuild soil health in fields traditionally depleted by conventional methods. Our participatory research with cotton farmers develops locally-adapted protocols that improve both yields and ecosystem function while reducing dependency on synthetic inputs. This project demonstrates how commodity crops can sequester carbon, enhance water cycles, and support biodiversity while challenging the notion that cotton must be environmentally destructive. <h3>Earthryai Olive Oils</h3>The Earthryai Olive Oils program applies agrohomeopathic principles to traditional olive cultivation, using minimal, targeted interventions to enhance tree health and resilience. Working with established olive groves, we've developed protocols that increase drought tolerance and disease resistance while improving oil quality. This approach allows ancient olive landscapes to function as integrated agroecosystems where production coexists with habitat preservation. By honoring the deep cultural significance of olive cultivation while introducing regenerative practices, we're demonstrating how Mediterranean agricultural heritage can evolve toward greater ecological vitality without sacrificing tradition.<h2> </h2><h2>2. Circular Bioeconomy</h2><h3>Rebioca</h3>Rebioca converts organic waste into regenerative resources through advanced composting and bioconversion techniques. This initiative creates significant value from previously discarded materials, establishing circular resource flows that mimic natural systems. By transforming waste streams into productive inputs, Rebioca demonstrates how human production can align with ecological processes rather than disrupting them.<h3>Medicinal Mushroom Cultivation</h3>Our Medicinal Mushroom initiative exemplifies circular bioeconomy principles by transforming agricultural waste streams into healing medicines. The cultivation systems convert organic residues into mushroom-growing substrates, and the spent materials become nutrient-rich soil amendments, completing ecological cycles. Beyond production, this project demonstrates the intersection of traditional mycological knowledge with contemporary understanding of fungal ecology, creating multiple value streams from materials previously considered waste. The medicinal compounds support both human and ecosystem health, embodying our commitment to integrated wellbeing.<h2> </h2><h2>3. Education and Community</h2><h3>Istanbul Hub</h3>The Istanbul Hub connects farmers, researchers, and community members in developing regenerative strategies for urban and rural environments. This physical space serves as a living laboratory for ecological innovation, where theoretical understanding meets practical application. The hub facilitates knowledge exchange between diverse stakeholders, accelerating the adoption of regenerative practices through collaboration and shared learning.<h3> </h3><h3>Orman İyeleri (Forest Schools)</h3>Our Orman İyeleri program provides immersive ecological education that integrates indigenous wisdom with modern science. These forest schools cultivate a new generation of ecological practitioners who understand natural systems through direct experience rather than abstract concepts. By developing deep ecological literacy from an early age, the program creates cultural foundations for regenerative living that will sustain long-term environmental transformation.<h3> </h3><h3>Urban Gardening Programs</h3>Our Urban Gardening Programs transform city spaces into productive food landscapes through community gardens, rooftop cultivation, and balcony growing systems. These initiatives reconnect urban residents with food production while creating habitat for pollinators and wildlife in urban environments. By incorporating indigenous crop varieties and traditional growing methods, our urban gardens preserve cultural food heritage while demonstrating how even dense urban areas can participate in agricultural regeneration. These living systems serve as educational spaces where ecological literacy develops through direct participation in growing food, building community resilience from the ground up.<h3> </h3><h3>Web3 Education Programs</h3>Our Web3 Education Programs develop digital tools for ecological tracking and transparent environmental restoration. These initiatives bridge technology and regenerative practices, creating accessible pathways for broader participation in ecosystem healing. By leveraging decentralized technologies, we're building systems that align human economic activity with ecological regeneration, establishing new models for environmental stewardship in the digital age. <h2>3.

Silvi's mission is to contribute to the trillion tree target by developing financial and coordination tools for ecologically optimized and climate-adapted reforestation. The protocol includes several innovative features:<h3> </h3>1. TreeForwards:TreeForwards are distinct bonds that provide financial commitments to plant and steward trees through maturity. These bonds include species and location-specific methodologies with milestone-based rewards, incentivizing optimized tree planting and stewardship. The financial model of TreeForwards is designed to minimize risk by making payouts dependent on verifiable milestones and defining the unit economics of reforestation.<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWw7DR7Vahjh24E9gcK7Vany6VFTg3nFHkC8RpPPeeRKZ">2. Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV):The <a href="https://app.silvi.earth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Silvi App</a>, currently in open beta, is a tool for creating reforestation impact claims. These claims can be financially compensated if they adhere to predefined methodologies. The app ensures transparency and accountability in the reforestation process with features like proof of location, native in-app image capture as opposed to uploading images as well as a methodology configurator that outlines the requirements for various proof-of-tree events (e.g., proof of germination, potting, planting).<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSQWTo8fXp3H2jeBkFSCZY7xTmDZuGWQhADQANULixxyr"><img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmZksSCJeXAabThcWE8CC3BxsxXQhvYBDCgfSxY29iK5qA"> 3. Treekipedia:Treekipedia is a comprehensive Tree Intelligence Commons, functioning as a knowledge graph from which a library of species and location-specific methodologies as well a complementary resources like data sets can be indexed to. Silvi actively inviting collaborators to contribute to this open source initiative 4. Batch Accounting:Silvi's batch accounting system manages groups of TreeForwards, ensuring that each tree receives the necessary funding and care. This system enhances the scalability of reforestation efforts, facilitating meticulous management of large-scale projects as well as pre-planting propagation and logistics. 5. Portfolio Management:Silvi aims to democratize reforestation by managing a diverse portfolio of reforestation projects worldwide. The goal is to eventually operate this portfolio via a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) structure, using a token-based system for governance <h3>Collaborations</h3>Silvi collaborates with several organizations, including Sunflower Ecotech, dMeter, Regen Network, Filecoin, Hypercerts, and ReFiDAO. These partnerships focus on developing techniques for statistical sampling of ground truth and remote sensing inference. Silvi also seeks vertical integration with carbon/ecocredit certifying projects through the Ecological Benefits Framework. <h3>Tokenomics</h3>Silvi plans to launch a native governance token issued through tree commitments. These tokens will be paired with utility NFTs that contain all relevant data and contracts for each tree. <h3>Pilots and Focus Areas</h3>Silvi has conducted several pilot projects, including <a href="https://forms.gle/sboMyorBojcZCXkXA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OperationWebTree</a> with close to 30 implementation partners. Their primary focus is currently in Kenya, particularly around the <a href="https://medium.com/@silvitree/introducing-silvi-the-tree-steward-platform-eb30fe9a2644" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kakamega Forest</a>. Here, Silvi is working with schools and smallholder farmers to establish small, distributed nursery beds aimed at increasing the supply of saplings. With the help of Gitcoin funding, Silvi has established operations in dozens of schools and nurseries, onboarded over 300 users, and propagated more than 150,000 trees in Kenya.The largest project in Kakamega Forest involves close collaboration with forestry services and forest-run nurseries. Silvi is expanding reforestation capacity through a participatory model involving independent nurseries managed by community members. They are close to being assigned an exclusive area for planting and forest management, where their MRV and methodologies will be rigorously tested over the coming years. In summary, Silvi's mission and tools aim to significantly impact global reforestation efforts through innovative financial instruments, robust verification tools, and strong community and organizational collaborations. Their focus on scalable, ecologically optimized, and climate-adapted reforestation practices positions them as a key player in achieving the trillion tree target.

Green Evolutions ReFi Village: Empowering Thai Farmers for a Sustainable FutureProject OverviewGreen Evolutions ReFi Village aims to empower 30 organic farming families in Thailand’s Isan region by establishing a regenerative ecosystem that breaks the cycle of rural poverty. We are in the pre-construction phase and seeking to raise&nbsp;$55,000&nbsp;in seed funding: <blockquote>Green Evolutions ReFi Village is an on-the-ground regenerative project in Northeast Thailand designed to fund itself, feed its people, and heal the soil.</blockquote><blockquote>At its core is a small community distillery that pays farmers 1.5x market rates, turns crop residue into compost and biochar, and powers itself using renewable biogas. The profits don’t line corporate pockets — they go straight into a free organic training center that teaches farmers how to grow without chemicals and lifts the next generation out of the poverty cycle.</blockquote><blockquote>We're building a blueprint for ReFi that feeds people — not just protocols.</blockquote> <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmeALJ7DvRWqP92eFMNXc7ZRDYuHBZaZ8TwcgfGPNZzxcd">The ProblemIn Thailand’s Isan region, 30 organic farming families are trapped in a devastating poverty spiral. To cover planting costs and living expenses, they pre-sell their crops months before planting, earning just 10 THB/kg for rice instead of the 13 THB/kg market rate—losing profits to loans and middlemen. This cycle leaves them unable to invest in sustainable practices, leading to soil degradation from chemical-heavy agriculture. Young people, seeing no future in farming, migrate to cities, and when older generations pass, inherited land is often sold to large corporations that further degrade the environment with mechanized, chemical-intensive methods. This pattern threatens the livelihoods of rural communities worldwide, exacerbating poverty, environmental decline, and climate change. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmeTHBJitVv8hvRBPCsQPd6ZnEYu7mL9YseehxP7ms8TbW">Our SolutionGreen Evolutions ReFi Village will establish a regenerative ecosystem to address these challenges head-on, with four key IRL components:<ul><li>Semper Invictus Distillery: We will build a distillery that purchases raw rice (12,457 kg/year) and sugarcane (14,286 kg/year) directly from 30 local farmers, producing 7,000 bottles of rum, vodka, and gin annually. The distillery will pay farmers 1.5x market rates in cash (19.5 THB/kg vs. 13 THB/kg), providing immediate financial relief and breaking the pre-selling cycle. Waste from the distillery will be repurposed into organic fertilizer, which will be provided to farmers for free, encouraging organic farming practices and reducing their reliance on costly chemical inputs.</li><li>Holistic Training Center for Sustainable Farming: We plan to establish a training center to educate 200 farmers per year in organic farming techniques, biochar application, and sustainable land management. The center will include greenhouses for year-round crop production, outdoor ponds for growing fish and irrigating crops, a composting zone to recycle organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, and a free-range chicken area to integrate poultry farming. In-person workshops and online courses will be offered to both local farmers and global audiences, spreading knowledge of regenerative practices and supporting our operations through participant contributions.</li><li>Biochar Production for Carbon Sequestration: We aim to produce 10 tons of biochar per year using rice hulls (2,491 kg from our rice processing) and local agricultural waste (e.g., sugarcane bagasse, maize stalks, bamboo). Biochar locks carbon into the soil for centuries, with 1 ton sequestering ~2.5 tons of CO2e (IPCC estimate). Our 10 tons will sequester 25 tons CO2e annually. This biochar will be applied to local farmland, improving soil health and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers, while contributing to climate change mitigation.</li><li>Biogas System for Sustainability: We will install a biogas system using cow manure to power the distillery sustainably, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The slurry byproduct will be repurposed into additional organic fertilizer, further supporting farmers and closing the loop on waste.</li></ul>ImpactOur initiative will deliver transformative outcomes for the Isan community and the environment:<ul><li>Economic Empowerment: By paying 1.5x market rates and providing free organic fertilizer, we aim to increase farmers’ effective income, enabling them to reinvest in their farms and families while breaking free from the pre-selling cycle.</li><li>Environmental Regeneration: We plan to sequester 25 tons of CO2e per year through biochar, mitigating climate change, while regenerating 100 hectares of degraded soil with organic practices. The biogas system will reduce the distillery’s carbon footprint, and the training center’s greenhouses, fish ponds, and composting zone will promote sustainable farming methods.</li><li>Social Resilience: Training 200 farmers annually in organic practices—supported by hands-on learning in greenhouses, fish farming, composting, and free-range poultry—will equip them with diverse skills to farm sustainably, fostering community resilience. Farmers will share knowledge, growing our collective from 30 to 50+ by 2026, with a model that can be replicated globally to combat rural poverty.</li><li>Scalability: Contributions from training programs and biochar partnerships will ensure financial sustainability, allowing us to expand to new regions and support more farmers over time.</li></ul>What Donations Will Be Used ForDonations will support the following key areas:<ul><li>Construction and setup of the Semper Invictus Distillery, including equipment and infrastructure to process rice and sugarcane into rum, vodka, and gin.</li><li>Development of a holistic training center with greenhouses, outdoor fish ponds for irrigation and fish farming, a composting zone, and a free-range chicken area, alongside facilities for workshops.</li><li>Installation of a biogas system to sustainably power the distillery and produce fertilizer from waste.</li><li>Establishment of a biochar production pilot, including kilns and labor to process agricultural waste into biochar for soil enhancement.</li><li>Marketing and outreach efforts to connect with farmers and global supporters through platforms like X and ReFi communities.</li><li>Legal and compliance efforts to ensure smooth operations.</li><li>Operational costs, such as demonstration plots and initial support for farmers to adopt organic practices.</li></ul>Timeline<ul><li>Q3 2025: Secure funding, begin distillery and training center construction.</li><li>Q4 2025: Launch distillery pilot (7,000 bottles), start training programs.</li><li>2026: Begin biochar production, scale to 50+ farmers, establish sustainability.</li><li>2027: Expand to new regions, replicate the model globally.</li></ul>Team<ul><li>James: Founder and project visionary with a background in sustainable agriculture, passionate about empowering rural communities.</li><li>Organic Collective: 30 farming families in Isan, committed to organic practices</li><li>Future Roles: We plan to recruit a project manager, agricultural trainer, and community coordinator to ensure successful implementation.</li></ul> Why Support Us on Giveth?Green Evolutions ReFi Village aligns with Giveth’s mission to support community-driven, regenerative projects.

Green Evolutions ReFi Village Empowering Thai Farmers

<h2>Why care, why give</h2>Orange skies over the forests burning around the world. Families in northern Kenya walking farther each week to find water.Same crisis, different faces: escalating heat, wildfire, floods, and droughts where natural defenses have been stripped away.This Cause backs multiple tree-planting projects around the world. Trees cool streets and schools, anchor soils, slow floods, shelter wildlife, and strengthen local livelihoods. Your support funds the simple, unglamorous care that keeps young trees alive. <h2>The problem (what your gift actually fixes)</h2>Natural defenses are missing or broken.Without trees, neighborhoods overheat, rivers silt up, banks erode, and farms lose topsoil and moisture.Communities are ready—but under-resourced.Local groups have land access and know-how. They lack flexible funds for seedlings, tools, transport, and a year of aftercare at the right moment in the season.Different places face different risks.Cities need shade and cleaner air; farms need windbreaks and soil protection; riparian/coastal zones need roots that hold banks and reduce erosion.<h2>What we’re funding</h2>Goal: plant and care for 20,000 native trees across a portfolio of partner projects across the globe from mangroves to food forests.<ul><li>Native, site-appropriate species chosen with local partners.</li><li>Season-aligned planting windows to maximize survival.</li><li>Tree Care for growth of the various trees.</li></ul><h2>Risks &amp; how we mitigate them</h2><ul><li>Drought/heat: align with rainy seasons, mulch, prioritize drought-tolerant native species, add watering support where feasible.</li><li>Pests/grazing: simple guards, community patrols.</li><li>Storms/floods: plant in suitable zones, diversify species, re-plant where needed.</li></ul> <h2>Let's GROW!</h2>Help us plant to protect. Your donation funds seedlings, local jobs &amp; care for the trees for years to come - help us reach the goal of getting 20,000 native trees growing.
