Introduction
Food is what we need to survive on earth. The basic need of humankind includes food. The human being performed the production of food as one of its primary tasks on earth. Since inhabiting the earth, we have been growing food to feed rising population.People in the world are working hard to put food on their plate. Agriculture is considered to be one of the first activity we did on earth to sustain our life. But, it seems that future looks a little complex given the rise in population and slow food production.
According to a report, the world population is going to be 9.7 billion by 2050 and to feed them the food production has to be increased by 70%. The Asian countries are believed to be one of the most affected regions in the world. Different countries in Asian continent have different problems. While China and Japan are believed to be affected by the rise in ageing population in future, thereby leading to a reduction in the human resources in the farming sector. India with its sheer population is seeing a rise in income and urban population thereby demanding more protein based food for the urban population and fewer people to work in the agriculture sector.
While this phenomenon of the rise in urban population is across the world, in Asian countries it poses risks for their food safety. There is urgent need to create a sustainable solution to this growing problem. If not checked, this could lead to a very serious condition for the global population. The technology and people must unite together create a framework, which can bring a practical solution to rising food security.
Solution Offered
ATFS has decided to present its solution which can be divided into three categories, first being the creation of a Smart Farm 2.0, the second is producing Plant-based Meat and the third one is Disruptive Decentralized Marketplace. The agriculture and consumers will act as input and output of this system. While farmers will be utilizing the features of technologies, such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Deep learning and IoT in the Smart Farm, the consumer will be able to find food of his choice using the Disruptive Decentralised Marketplace.
The Sustainability of this platform largely depends on the consumers and producers, who are the key participants in the ATFS Ecosystem. The ecosystem presented by the ATFS can be called " Third Green Revolution". Feeding the rising population by utilising the latest technology is their ultimate aim. They believe that Plant-based meat, Plant-based protein is the future of the food.
ICO Information & Team
To create this mammoth application and ATFS ecosystem, they require large public support. They are conducting an ICO from 10th January 2018, which will continue until 9th February 2018. Early participants are treated with a bonus. The ATFS token is an ERC-20 Standard based on the Ethereum blockchain.
The 65% of total tokens will be available for Public sale while 15 % is held as the reserve. The fund collected will be utilised for the development of Distributed Decentralized Platform and Smart Farm Technology.
The team is led by David Kim, who has extensive experience in the field of business and planning. The other members of the team are experienced professionals who have worked in the fields of technology, business and Agri startups.They believe that power of technology can be put to use to solve the food crisis.
Conclusion
ATFS will launch their first Smart Farm 2.0 in Asia, as they believe that next green revolution will be created on the Asian Continent. They will further expand their base to different countries in the coming years. Food is our life and creating a solution to provide security to it must be our primary aim.
I think they have embarked upon a great journey of the food revolution, which if successful could lead to the fundamental change in the way how food is produced and sold today. Nothing can be much bigger than the problem of agriculture because it remains our growth engine on the planet earth. Their unique approach towards plant-based food will surely bring food security solution in many countries.
Today, people are starting to realise the potential of being vegetarian, as the trend of "Go Vegan" sweeps the world. We cannot be left behind in supporting one of the most ambitious projects of the year, which has the capability to change the life of the billions of people on earth. What remains to be seen the response of the people and investors, who will act as a catalyst in the development of the platform.
