On the physical side, DFSN will pursue decentralization projects like 50 Farms, which addresses multiple problems at once: creates a geographically distributed network of 50 farms doing CSA programs for healthy food supply and community engagement, improves long-term emergency preparedness, and provides both new farmer support and mentoring as well as monetary support of mid-size farms that are struggling. \n\nOn the virtual side, we'll be building capacity for additional revenue streams to food producers through securitizing natural assets on the model of -- and in collaboration with -- organizations like Centree and Kolektivo. While this model has often been applied just to forests, we seek to expand it to regenerative agriculture, wild-harvesting and marine-based food production (including kelp farming), all of which can sequester more carbon than steady-state forests. In the long run we want to use this to support a localized digital currency that will keep value circulating in the community, and free up food producers from the debt cycle that is driving many of them out of business.\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "ync2020"}, "recipient": "0x4Be737B450754BC75f1ef0271D3C5dA525173F6b"}}
