The Farm Token — SteemCN

Food is vital to life. Food and food production is one of the largest industries in the world. It is also the most fragmented industry with production scattered all over the world.Today,consumers are driving a significant change towards a healthy lifestyle for themselves, theirfamilies, their pets and their communities. For consumers, a product’s worth is no longer simplymeasured by how well it performs. Today’s increasingly informed and engaged consumers are looking for something more from their products and the companies that provide them authenticity, purity, innovation, value, and goodness.

While existing IT solutions have mitigated some of these challenges there is still a lot of uncertainty like high integration costs, low transparency levels and large amount of undetected fraud making it hard to comply with the current and future demands of consumers and other stakeholders.

We at FARM Group believe that we have the solution. As part of the solution, every year, we seek to identify and partner with a few innovative food companies and help them grow to their full potential by unlocking new markets to reach a larger consumer audience.

In return, they incorporate block chain into their system and bring about the much needed food supply chain transparency while providing consumers with products that support their healthy, active and sustainable lifestyle. Additionally, our partner companies would also provide value to token holders and support the block chain community by tokenizing their assets and opening more venues to liquidate the token.Bottomline is that we want to be the next Coca,Cola with blockchain enabled within our infrastructure.

ABOUT FARM TOKEN

The FARM tokens (Gold and Silver tokens) are issued by the FARM group. The Objective of the FARM token foundation is to seek and partner with innovative food companies that cater to today’s increasingly informed and engaged consumers.

As our partner companies succeed, the FARM ecosystem would grow creating a demand for the token and subsequent increase in its value while empowering our partner entrepreneurs and transforming their societies.

FARM token market price will be highly dependent on the underlying performance of partner companies within the FARM ecosystem as well as the company’s future growth perspectives on the medium to long term horizon.

The price algorithm will be a function of the following :

• Buying/selling volume of token

• Volatility of our token on a given time frame

• Use of our token in relation to the market;

• Adoption rate of our token

• Liquidity of our token with respect to top 10 crypto currencies.

• Percentage of tokens being staked.

• Performance of the crypto market as whole.

• Amount of tokens burnt ( taken out of circulation)

As the project develops and more market data is available, the team at FARM Group will be better positioned to evaluate and decide exactly which m onetary policies to apply to ensure the objectives highlighted above.

The FARM Token Community

The FARM token community forum is an integral part of the FARM token ecosystem. It is a private forum open only to FARM token holders that meet certain criteria.

In this forum, the FARM token foundation directors will be looking for members to bring forth investment, partnership ideas; help research other people’s ideas; recommend products for investment; discuss the ideas brought forward by FARM token Foundation research team.

The FARMG token will rely on the performance of FARMS token. The FARMG token will initially belisted at fivetimes the price of FARMS token on the day of listing and its pricing would always be a function of FARMS token and an algorithm would be used for the same. The FARMG tokens donot split but the holders will receive 5 tokens for every FARMG token (no minimum needed) after a split.The FARMS token would be allowed tosplit only after community consensus.

This token split strategy serves the following purposes:

Increase in the number of tokens in circulation without dilution of price.

2)Enable more users to own the FARMS and FARMG tokens.

3)Accelerate platform adoption and help achieve a gradual reduction of economic inequality across the globe.

4)Serve as an alternative reserve currency.

Advantages

Some features of the FARM token that make it stand out from the rest and give you peace of mind.

Flexibility & Easy to Use

The perceived complexity and risk have limited mainstream crypto adoption. We have modeled our token prioritizing simplicity and ease of use to accelerate platform adoption

Low Volatility token

We have spent considerable time studying the volatility affecting crypto prices and have created an asset based stable token to prevent price fluctuations driven by emotions or market volatility.

Continuous Liquidity

Other than exchanging tokens at exchanges token holders can also use tokens to directly buy products/services from our partner companies at a discount. Peace of mind.

Supports sustainability

We at FARM Group do care about the wildlife, environment and its wellbeing. A part of the funds are allocated to create awareness and help the cause for sustainability.

Token Burn:
Whenever tokens are used to purchase goods from our partners –10% of the tokens used in the transaction would be taken out of circulation (burnt) from the FARM ecosystem. This 10% would also include the gas fee. That means token holders would not be paying any gas fee for transactions done with partner companies and will be able to liquidate FARM tokens outside of exchanges -peace of mind! The token burn is designed to manage the token price as well as the number of tokens in circulation. The 10% gas fee rule would apply to both FARMG and FARMS tokens.

Example:
Let us assume that we partnered with a Japanese Whiskey distilling company and a bottle of their distilled whiskey is listed at 100 USD on their website. Discount for buying whiskey with FARM token is 15% (discount varies by product and partner company)Tokens out of circulation (burnt) –10% of transaction Price of 1 FARMS token on that day is equal to 1 USD. The user pays 85 FARMStoken forthe Japanese whiskey and 8.5 FARMS token will be taken out of circulation from the FARM Secosystem.
