FARM GRID AFRICA
Farm Grid is an organization of Agricultural experts that promote one health by assisting Farmers achieve their goal of healthy and safe food and livestock production.
Established in 2019 with goals in line with the United Nations sustainable development goal (UN-SDG 02 and 03). The pilot farm is situated in Ebonyi State , Nigeria.
Farm Grid is an organization that promotes agriculture in Africa.
The misuse of drugs and and antibiotics in farm animal production constitute to doubt about the safety of livestock products. This abuse is often found among rural farmers who have little or no knowledge of the adverse effects of antibiotics residue in meat or egg.
Though there is a wide spread of campaign against the use of antibiotics in livestock production but this is not sufficient as no one wants to lose their flock to common diseases that could be prevented or treated with some available antibiotics.
What farmers need is an alternative means of securing their flock and at the same time safe for public consumption. And that is where we come in. We have plans to mentor farmers in the direction of organic livestock production . So that together we can achieve an era where people can trust what they eat .
We are presently studying different plant remedies to various livestock diseases .
FARM GRID PROJECT
With the recent trends on global hot topics such as blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFTs, etc, the farm grid project was created.
Farm grid project is Defi yield optimization for African real stakeholders, empowering farmers with blockchain technology and promoting one health. It is an integration of the block chain technology to agriculture enabling anyone across the globe to participate in food production. The Grid project is built on finance smart chain and ethereum block chain.
WHY FARM GRID PROJECT?
It is proven that agriculture pays more than Defi protocols. There is less volatility and very high demand.
