#FoodDeserts/swamps are all potential #agripreneurship empowerment zones. #FoodApartheid is an opportunity to rebuild communities more resilient & economically dynamic. Healthy #foodAccess is a basis of prosperity & we are building the #agtech to harness the possibilities.

Ever notice how the biggest fans of overwork are usually investors or company owners? And the primary victims of this culture are workers? If you’re in the latter group, developing a bit of class consciousness would serve you well.

Thanks to Trump’s trade wars:

Farm bankruptcies in Sept. soared to 24% — highest level since 2011.

Nearly 40% of projected farm profit this year will come from trade aid, disaster assistance, & federal subsidies.

Farm aid has now cost more than double the 2009 auto bailout.

Between whats left in the field & what grocers throw away, how in the hell can we know we need an additional 50% produced?

We. Dont. Know. What. We. Need.

This is fundamentally an accounting & forecasting problem.

Solution: The entire species' food needs on #blockchain.

Between trashing enough food to feed millions & "needing" 50% more by 2050, it's clear we dont have a grip on the accounting:

Put. The. Food. Needs. Of. The. Entire. Species. On. Blockchain.

Is @ethereum @tezos or @LiskHQ best tool?

📚 When it comes to accounting, #blockchain can usher in an industry-wide accuracy revolution not experienced since a group of 14th century Genoan treasurers introduced double-entry bookkeeping into their financial archives. Read on with #LiskAcademy. https://t.co/eiKW1fUTIv

Have any of these people ever been poor? Are they currently working with poor people building solutions? Are they seeking those people out? Stuff like this is fascinating.

Sooo... the food in prisons is basically a form of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and class warfare.
