The Kokonut Framework involves collecting seaweed for planting and organizing beach cleanups, which helps restore marine habitats and reduce oceanic trash. So far, we\u2019ve collected 35 bags of wet seaweed, each weighing 20-30kg, with a 4:1 wet to dry ratio.\n\nOur Kokonut Genesis Bio-factory produces 100% organic fertilizers for our 163 acres of managed land, using 800kg of manure to enhance soil resilience. We also integrate 7 tree species to improve soil health and water retention. [Regenerative practices sequester around 0.4 to 1.2 metric tons of carbon per acre annually](https://climatecoordination.org/), estimating 130.96 metric tons of carbon sequestered per year once we reach our full capacity for the land we have under management at the time of writing.\n\n# What's Coming Next in Kokonut Network Q4-2024\n\n* [Kokonut Genesis](https://www.kokonut.network/genesis) as a Community Organic Agriculture Training Site\n* Kokonut Venus Farm; 100% women-based leadership to grow beyond fruits & vegetables\n* Kokonut Green Paper \"Request for Comments\" Version\n* [Kokonut V1 Farm](https://kokonut.network/kokonut-v1 \"https://kokonut.network/kokonut-v1\") Fundraise & Launch Campaign\n\n# This is what you're helping bring to life \ud83c\udf31\n\n## Kokonut Venus \ud83d\udc60 - Six Dimensions of Impact \u267b\ufe0f\n\n1. **WHAT** \u2013 The objective is to test our thesis by building and developing syntropic plantations via a community-centric model, which intersects real-life communities, web3 communities, and global culture. The outcome of this investment will create a perpetual asset that will improve people's lives in every aspect.\n2. **WHO** \u2013 The families who own the land where the project will be developed are underserved in every aspect, including education, finances, health, and opportunities. In Latin America, jobs and the economy mainly function in big cities, and the countryside is typically marginalized or taken advantage of by large corporations. A blockchain-based co-op can help remove many of these barriers.\n3. **HOW MUCH** \u2013 Approximately 3 families own the land for Kokonut Venus a 100% women-based leadership syntropic farm with 60+ direct beneficiaries looking to expand beyond fruits & vegetable by also producing organic eggs, and the project will create dozens of direct and indirect jobs. This will be life-changing for everyone, as it will provide opportunities and value for at least 10 years.\n4. **CONTRIBUTION** \u2013 Underserved individuals depend on these types of projects and new concepts that open doors to new paradigms and possibilities. The current system's criteria and entry-level are very high, making it difficult for those who cannot meet their standards.\n5. **RISK** \u2013 We have several fail safes in place, such as agricultural insurance, open-source cloud accounting systems, government and community oversight, and technical support from government agencies.\n6. **PUBLIC GOODS** \u2013 Kokonut Venus Farm will be allocating 10% of its net profits as donations toward Asociacion de Mujeres Saladilleras AMUSA (100% Women-based Local Cooperative) which the manager of Kokonut Venus is the Director and [Kokonut Foundation](https://kokonut.foundation/) to further help with their mission.\n\n# Why Kokonut Network? \ud83c\udf34\n\nIn essence, Kokonut Network serves as the coordination layer that harnesses the power of web3 and open-source technologies to craft an adaptable organism capable of limitless expansion, thanks to its modular plug-and-play design framework.\n\nEvery component of our network is crafted in alignment with our [core values](https://kokonut.network/about).\n\nOur commitment extends to safeguarding the interests of minorities through a holistic approach.\n\n## Why coconuts? \ud83e\udd65\n\n**Zero Waste & Circular Crop \u267b\ufe0f**\n\nCoconut is the most cultivated and vital palm tree in the world, as it is the main source of vegetable fat. It is one of the plants that provide a wide variety of products and by-products, serving as a primary source of food, drinks, and shelter for animals.\n\nThe coconut products market size was valued at $11.5 billion in 2018 and is estimated to reach $31.1 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 13.6% from 2019 to 2026. In 2018, the coconut oil segment accounted for more than half of the total coconut products market share.\n\n> ***Coconut is a versatile fruit with many health, environmental and biodiversity benefits.***\n\n# Regenerative Agriculture; 8 Forms of Capital\n\n## Value Creation in a Community-Owned Syntropic Farm\n\n![8 Forms Diagram.png](https://blackhole.wasabi.network/api/photo/4c2vwfksgazi.png \"\")\n\n# Kokonut Ecosystem Climate Impact\n\nWe\u2019re developing a hybrid framework to create positive community-centric impact, addressing systemic issues in underserved areas and enhancing climate resilience. Our approach focuses on sustainable solutions that improve daily lives and provide incentives without deforestation.\n\n## **EBF Framework**\n\nWe will track and report environmental and social impacts using the EBF Framework. Our reports, published via Karma GAP, will ensure long-term compatibility within the ReFi and Climate communities. \n\nThe Kokonut Framework significantly contributes to air, soil, biodiversity, equity, and carbon benefits.\n\n# Unlimited Scaling - Kokonut Framework Use Case; Public Goods powered by Trees \ud83c\udf33\n\n![https://blackhole.wasabi.network/api/photo/wx35y712wpdo.png](https://blackhole.wasabi.network/api/photo/wx35y712wpdo.png)\n\n# **Our Vision** \ud83d\udd2d\n\nKokonut Network was created to [reduce the obstacles to agricultural development](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjygLVUSq4s&pp=ygURa29rb251dCBleHBsYWluZXI%3D), rural project funding, and democratize investment in real-world projects. We use blockchain technology to establish plantations, creating opportunities for the global web3 communities and everyone in the network.\n\nWhat makes us different: There are many DAOs with great ideas, copywriting, and marketing, but without a solid business model. Unfortunately, many of these projects are rug-pulled or abandoned by users due to lack of a quality product.\n\n---\n\n# **Main Resources** \ud83d\udd16\n\n* *Website [https://www.kokonut.network/](https://www.kokonut.network/)*\n* *Let\u2019s have a chat [https://link.kokonut.network/meeting](https://link.kokonut.network/meeting)*\n* *Tree of Links [https://link3.to/kokonutnetwork](https://link3.to/kokonutnetwork)*\n* *Kokonut Network Karma GAP Profile [https://link.kokonut.network/karma](https://link.kokonut.network/karma)*\n* *Kokonut Genesis Farm [https://www.kokonut.network/genesis](https://www.kokonut.network/genesis)*\n* *Kokonut Seeds Farm [https://www.kokonut.network/seeds](https://www.kokonut.network/seeds \"https://www.kokonut.network/seeds\")*\n* *Kokonut Data Hub [https://hub.kokonut.network/](https://hub.kokonut.network/)*\n\n## Bonus\n\n* *ReFi on Arbitrum Grant Proposal \\[[Attestation](https://link.kokonut.network/ReFi_ARB_EAS)\\] \\[Kokonut Seeds [Pitch Deck](https://link.kokonut.network/KKN-Seeds-Deck)\\]*\n\n> **Thank you for reading.
