I was on a flight, on my way to Boston, and looking out the window (I always sits by the window), I see this huge and vast green-ish-yellow-ish land... For a good 2min I was day-dreaming looking at it...
Imagine a MetaFarm... a virtual game/experience where you're building your own farm, learning the ways inside-out of fully sustaining yourself and helping others do the same. Imagine being rewarded with FarmTokens as you level up. Now imagine a DAO, working towards collecting funds, investments and build real physical farms (matching the MetaFarms) where our community (MetaFarmers) will receive perks/discounts/gifts from these real farms and also available to everyone else (using our token for purchase, and even get token back rewards), create more employments in the field... There's more to it, but let's start here...
What do you think?
I couldn't help myself and started putting things together, starting with a simple teasing landing page (https://mflabs.io). Anyone willing to work together and build up this project, feel free to reach out.
Farmers are Pioneers! :)
Soooo let me get this straight: it's intended to be a simulator video game that allows someone to learn how to farm and if they farm correctly, they will earn coins that have been funded by people who are trying to support sustainable farming? These coins can then be cashed in to support farming...I think it's pretty interesting. I guess the main concern is just if people who support sustainable farming will contribute, or if you just need a few major contributions from wealthy philanthropists who want to try a new model for sustainability. Either way, this doesn't strike me as a bad idea.
You're right on! I haven't gone in depth in the details of the game/simulator experience, but the goal would be to get some kind of rewards (coins, perks, etc) that could be exchangeable for real life products from real farms we will build (and/or support farming).
Yes, targeting wealthy philanthropists would be a good idea, and share our roadmap and goals. I'm still working out some of the details, but I do believe in working towards a better tomorrow and that starts with how we eat, and that's from the roots, farming! I even think of working with big corporations, or NGOs to support and contribute in our goals. :)
