Key points discussed

This presentation delved deep into a unique seed trading system that intertwines online technology with collaborative agriculture and environmental efforts. Here are the key takeaways:

Seed Trading System:

• Participants exchange seeds and receive NFTs representing those seeds.
• Information about the species, use, location, presence of pests or diseases, and region is crucial for trade.
• No financial cost is involved; commitment can be through exchange or a basket of NFTs.
• Platforms like multi-sig support trading, NFT management, and seed details exploration.

Community Activities:

• Sharing seeds, planting trees, and organizing work parties are essential elements.
• Participants contribute skills and knowledge through "hats" assigned for specific roles.
• Seed swapping, international exchange, and spreading seeds are actively discussed and explored.

Challenges and Opportunities:

• Integrating offline seed banking with the online ecosystem needs seamless solutions.
• Providing infrastructure like greenhouses and training for avocado and other crop cultivation is crucial.
• Recognizing farmers' efforts by linking distributed seeds back to them is a potential approach.
• Experimentation and collaboration are key to finding new possibilities and building a flourishing community.

Impact and Future:

• This system seeks to empower local communities, kickstart local economies, and foster sustainable practices.
• Connecting short-term participation with long-term seed saving and regenerative activities is a critical goal.
• Replicating the system's templates and customizing them for specific needs within various communities is encouraged.

Overall, this presentation offered a glimpse into a passionate and innovative community striving to create a future where seed sharing, collaboration, and technology work together to nurture a more sustainable and interconnected world.

About the session

Scene: Each one’s surroundings

Roles: Seed Stewards

Moves: Stewards have the duty of:

1. Monitoring the local plant species until the seed production period

2. Add it to a gated Charmverse page on AgroforestDAO’s workspace
3. Exchange the seeds IRL + digital twins SeedsNFTs

This experience happens in each one’s place in real life. It is hapenning already. It is about interacting with the natural cycles of the surrounding plants and follow their production of seeds. Every seed specie is important, and so is the process of stewardship. We believe this is a first step in the process of valuing this. We ask Seeds Stewards to fill a tally form to describe their seeds species, and we will add it to the web3 protocol HatsProtocol to visualize the a tree of stewards. Each steward will be assigned a Hat with the name of the specie they are stewarding.

This is the Stewards Application Form: https://tally.so/r/w2KRQA

Example of the Trees of stewards created by Hats:

Stewards will get a non-transferable Hat NFT and will receive an edition of 20 NFTs representing the seeds and that can be distributed or traded with other stewards. In the NFT description there will be info about the specie, such as bioregion, utilities, scientific name and season/month of the harvest. Tracking of the NFTs exchanges over time will show the best stewards that can be recognized in a leaderboard and retroactivelly rewarded.

The experience will be facilitated by members of AgroforestDAO, Yamine and Diogo.
