Inheriting the natural legacy from past generations and having responsibilities for improving and passing this wealth to the next generations.\n\nIn the 90s the movement of Syntropic Farming brought back the possibility of cultivating food forests and creating natural inheritance, but it is still very much an individual effort oriented by market incentives, and not a collective effort mediated by community incentives. \n\nCommunity cares for the long term, for education, capacity building, for public goods, celebrations, experiences and friendships. Markets care about short term profits whatever it takes. \n\nNowadays, the lack of a community scafold has brought failure to many young families that tried to leave the city and start a rural life, and we often see couples breaking up for not being able to sustain their families with products sales, specially if they live in a small town far from any large urban center. We want to show rural families that they will have support to build intergenerational commons.\n\n📜 Our Solution\n\nAgroforestDAO's purpose is to revive Community Agriculture values in the 21st century, using Blockchain for cosmolocal recognition and support. Redemption Hill is our MVP, planted by web3 Regens that came in person to execute under the first rains of Spring.\n\nHaving visitors to plant on their land surprised the familly and contributed to make them feel like there's something relevant hapenning there.  On the volunteers side, it brought their first experience with planting, while building connections with this system and reputation in the global community of AgroforestDAO. \n\n[![plantiocoletivo.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/593FTJM5/plantiocoletivo.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/dDh1Zz3D)\n\nAt the Hill we created community agriculture, the initial grain production goes to the families involved and the future forest assets will be shared among IRL or URL community members after 36 months.\n\n[![safredencaonov23.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/DzHcWTz4/safredencaonov23.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/rdG4b7xq)\nRice in 2024\n[![arroz.png](https://i.postimg.cc/FRSvb4XJ/arroz.png)](https://postimg.cc/jwRBKB5s)\nRice in 2025, with the syntropic nests established\n\n\nOur research questions are: \n1- Can we contribute to the education of the web3 Regen Community by sharing our context and seasonal updates? \n2- Can local teams be supported by the global community to steward the first years of a new food forest, so to avoid falling in the market trap?\n3- Can we use community-issued certificates to build reputation and incentives systems among stewards in our network?\n4- Can we multiply this model in other places?\n\nAfter 12 months of Twitter sharing (in english), we decided to engage in portugese social media to gather other agroforest stewards in Learning Journeys focused on building capacity for cosmolocal community agriculture. \n\n🌱Our Local Team\n\n[![tools2.png](https://i.postimg.cc/59n6pmwn/tools2.png)](https://postimg.cc/SjYSxC1M)\n\n🖼️ See Our Impact\n[![Hypercert2025.webp](https://i.postimg.cc/cHzBnN48/Hypercert2025.webp)](https://postimg.cc/LYz1cwPH)\n\n🔗 [View Our Hypercert](https://celoscan.io/tx/0x457ed86ab269a9f79b414934a115a75df2f04b66e48352f4c674078014a9dfc6)\n📝 What This Hypercert Represents:\nCertificate of participation in the initial planting of Redemption Hill\n\n\n\n✅ Proof That It’s Working\nHere we are having our first harvest of rice in the interlines\n[![colheita-do-arroz.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/T1mN2PqP/colheita-do-arroz.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/RJSLX4Yr)\n\nAnd here we can see how the consortium of shurbs, bananas and short cycle species that help make shade and create conditions for the germination of forest seeds such as avocado, jackfruit and inga\n[![jacaingaabacate.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/65J1jdt4/jacaingaabacate.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/23Gw3LqC)\n\n\n📂 [See the Proof of Impact](https://app.charmverse.io/agroforestdao/seasonal-updates-3960682347422868)\n\n💡 Join Us in Making a Difference!\nJoin our [Telegram](https://t.me/+TNwrhRCyCxQ4Zjcx) and follow us on [X](https://x.com/agroforestDAO)\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "agroforestdao", "projectTwitter": "agroforestdao"}
