Farm sponsorship

Farm Grid engages in blockchain farming and real farming activities where stakeholders can choose which plant or animal production to sponsor and get returns from the sales of these products after a stipulated period of time. The returns are stated in the sponsorship campaigns. This is unlike other blockchain farming programs that end in the blockchain. Farm grid allows persons globally to participate in agricultural production via the farm sponsorship campaign. This entails the sponsoring of a particular farming activity such as poultry, goat and sheep rearing, maize, and grain cultivation over a stipulated period of time(Planting season) and in turn gets a reasonable profit from the farm proceeds (harvest season). This farming is done in real farms existing in Africa but the investment is controlled by the smart contract. Sponsoring a farm in Farm Grids makes you earn in two folds. Farm sponsors get rewarded from the real farm proceeds and also the blockchain farming interests through farm grid integration with Xend finance, a defi yield protocol.

Why should I participate in Agriculture in Africa

The world population increases every second and thus there is an increasing global need for quality food production. The majority of the farmers that feed the world through their farming activities are living in abject poverty and thus have very limited resources to produce as required. About Seven thousand persons die of hunger daily and over Eight hundred million persons are malnourished globally according to UN-FAO. Africa has a gift of good arable land that blossoms food production but lacks the resources to optimize this wonderful gift of nature.

Food is one of the basic needs of life and that suggests high demand. The need for food globally has never been met. That is why Farm Grid in line with the United Nations SDGs II and III provides a platform where farmers can get sponsored globally to enable them to produce enough food for all and also make profits for sponsors.
