I've worked in ag funding for years and find very little capital can be deployed (even after YEARS of discussions, planning, and zoom meetings) due to the financial risks associated with farming within a system designed to drive food prices down and land prices up.
Few in traditional finance see the core of the problem and scoff at Bitcoin. I'm trying to pair farm funding and Bitcoin together in one innovative fund model to get farmers onto strong financial footing. If we lose the ability to feed ourselves, we're all at the mercy of someone else. (Where I live, less than 10% of food consumed is produced locally. And we're losing thousands of farms per year.)
I have an idea for a fund that could recapitalize small & medium family farms, securing their land ownership and means of production, and pose little to no risk to the fund/funders.
I am also tied into a global network of land managers through my work with the Savory Institute. Farmers globally need help. (I was thinking Fedi could be a part of the solution as well.)
Might either of you happen to know any HNWIs / family offices / funds / BTC whales interested in supporting small agriculture and food freedom while also open to working with Bitcoin? I'd love to start having conversations about this idea.
If anyone comes to mind, I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.
