Our business model focuses on storing nitrates and phosphates in the soil for ten-year periods, warrantied, thereby actively engaging farmers in watershed cleaning.\n\nWe aim to empower farmers with financial incentives in exchange for actively cleaning their watershed, while simultaneously restoring soil and water quality.\n\nMethods:\n\nIntegration of Technology: Utilizing edge-of-field sensors, drones, and MPC-buoys to monitor and reveal data about water quality at any given time.\n\nDigital Dynamic Certificates: Hosting certificates on Polygon to ensure transparency and traceability.\n\nNutrient Banking: Encouraging farmers to store nitrates and phosphates in the soil for ten-year periods, warrantied, to reduce nutrient pollution.\n\nCollaboration with Farmers: Providing financial incentives to farmers for their active participation in cleaning their watershed.\n\nAlignment with Gitcoin Climate Solutions:\nOur project is directly related to climate solutions by reducing harmful impacts like algal blooms, oxygen depletion, and degraded water quality. By focusing on nutrient pollution, we are contributing to the reduction of GHGs and serving as core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions.\n\nTimeline and Milestones\n4Q23: Integration of technology and platform development.\n1Q24: Collaboration with farmers and initiation of nutrient banking.\n2Q24: Monitoring and verification of water quality improvements.\n3Q24: Reporting and scaling to new regions.\n\nBudget:\n\nTechnology Integration: $50,000\nFarmer Incentives: $100,000\nMonitoring and Verification: $30,000\nAdministrative Costs: $20,000\n\nTotal: $200,000\n\nNeptuneChain's innovative approach to nutrient pollution addresses a global issue with localized solutions. By incentivizing farmers and utilizing advanced technology, we are not only restoring water quality but building a sustainable future. We kindly request a grant of $200,000 to further our mission and make a lasting impact on our planet.", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "NeptuneChain-Inc", "projectTwitter": "neptunechainio"}
