People that value having ways to enhance their involvment with intergenerational Agroforest Systems (SAFs) 🐜\n\n# Onboarding Food Forest Stewards 🐜🐜🐜\n\nDuring Q1 2025 we've been campaigning and hosting our second [learning journey]. The [Jornada AgroforestDAO 2](https://x.com/agroforestDAO/status/1900009504625787367) (JA2) cohort for Brazilian stewards, had over 75 applications and started in March 5th. The journeys are inspired by the [Kernel Fellowship](https://www.kernel.community/), we host six weekly introductory sessions of 1-2 hs followed by onchain tasks, and have attendance certified by [POAPs](https://collectors.poap.xyz/token/7325294)\n\n[![colagem-JA2.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/Twy1Hdch/colagem-JA2.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/ygH7Dztz)\n\nApprentices learn about autocustody and onchain reputation, and are allowed to create profiles in our [Charmverse](https://hackmd.io/CcrZJ0_oSsOhP9ebMwXmLg?stext=612%3A10%3A0%3A1742587239%3AkV8u_2&both=) workspace both for them and their systems. \n\n[![charmverse3.png](https://i.postimg.cc/Qtfbb1rG/charmverse3.png)](https://postimg.cc/qhCyBtRj)\n\nOn Charmverse and [Telegram](https://t.me/+TNwrhRCyCxQ4Zjcx) we experiment with collective learning and governance. We are now 43 SAFs from JA1 + JA2 in the workspace and over 100 stewards in the brazilian Telegram 🐝🐝\n\nThey are invited to participate in mutual support rounds both as a donor and grantee. In order to participate in our rounds the steward has to set seasonal milestones and updates on our [KarmaGAP](https://gap.karmahq.xyz/community/agroforestdao). \n\n[![karmagap.png](https://i.postimg.cc/V67w8HjJ/karmagap.png)](https://postimg.cc/YGmZNRD7)\n\nIn the end of the journey we created a [collective Safe account](https://app.safe.global/home?safe=celo:0xb8e17b1E7b6d1fcAa8a258b8AB7fF3c333D167f3) with the apprentices, and they start experimenting with governing common resources, allocation mechanisms and voting. \n\nStewards that mantain their workspace updated for an entire sun cycle will receive a [Hypercert](https://app.hypercerts.org/hypercerts/42220-0x16bA53B74c234C870c61EFC04cD418B8f2865959-19396094914493492417412352623610788052992) attesting their contribution to the DAO \n\nWe believe that by investing Gitcoin funds in education and capacity building among stewards we will be able to generate a fertile ground for cosmo-local partnerships, which can in turn feed back to support more education. \n\n# Volunteering Network 💪\n\n[![sarafu.png](https://i.postimg.cc/6380MT68/sarafu.png)](https://postimg.cc/k6dK4JbC)\n\nThe JA1 apprentices stressed the importance of supporting stewards that are Hosts in web2 networks of travellers and volunteers. We then decided to experiment with a common pool where Hosts can withdraw usd after delivering a volunteering report [Sarafu Network](https://sarafu.network/pools/0x0788459989F726Fd110897a20Faa990D6ef57E6A)\n\n[![unlockprotocol.png](https://i.postimg.cc/g0XtJtFw/unlockprotocol.png)](https://postimg.cc/B83B7gvs)\n\nVolunteers are invited to join AgroforestDAO and are recognized by receiving an email with Unlock Protocol's certificates (keys) issued in a shared account (lock) of Hosts. They are invited to follow and join AgroforestDAO Journeys. \n\n# Overall Experience 🐜\n\nOnboarding people from different regions of Brazil has been an incredible experience for the past 8 months. So much diversity and stories, so many possibilities for collaboration, all grounded in seasonality.\n\n[![imagemro-aconectada.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/FRPMqWSD/imagemro-aconectada.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/bDtVSR3t)\n\nMany local agentes are starting to experience the benefits of being part of a global tribe and realize that they are not alone anymore.  I feel a mix of gratitude with exhaustion, but very happy with the outcomes 💚🕊\n\nAmong the milestones for Q2 - besides supporting apprentices - are contributing to the organization of [Ipê City](https://ipe.city/), a pop-up city organized by [Founders Haus](https://www.founderhaus.club/) with a focus on using tech for resilience and wellbeing. It will be happening in the island of Florianopolis between April and May. We schedulled a Regen Day for May 6th followed by a Tapioca making workshop and a series of 4 sessions for prototyping Cosmolocal Agroforestry Partnerships over the following weeks.  \n\nIn the end of Q2 we aim to organize a QF round similar to the one we ran in [Spring 2024](https://forum.celo.org/t/i-agroforestdao-round/9756), as a way to reward engaged apprentices and collaborators.\n\nIn the second semester we are aiming at organizing our first english based AgroforestDAO Journey, after requests from rural communities in Nigeria, Uganda, and Costa Rica. \n\n# On the Ground 🫘\n\n[![mar-o2025.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/FKx5bsHt/mar-o2025.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/PLNRTHDK)\n\nAt Redemption Hill the summer ended and we harvested rice, established new syntropic nests and grass based fertilizer factories in most of the interlines. With 18 months the first banana bunches are starting to form and the baby fruit trees are growing under it 🤩🍌 \n\nThis couldn't be done without the support we have received in Gitcoin Grants. Thank you so much for reading this far and for being part of this movement. Your dedication to the rounds has allowed us to dedicate to building 🙏\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "agroforestdao", "projectTwitter": "agroforestdao"}
