#FinancialFox : Feed Africa to Feed the World. Block is creating a new agricultural economy for smallholder farmers

in financialfox •  6 years ago  (edited)

In this special episode of FinancialFox, Blockchain expert and Crypto PR Guru #StefaniaBarbaglio connects to South Africa for an update on #BlockCommodities operations and development of the first-of-its-kind agri-tech ecosystem that is deploying innovative crypto-lending solutions and new technologies, such as blockchain, to optimise the supply chain while empowering smallholder farmers. The aim is to address the enormous exclusion of South African farmers FROM the agricultural value chain: 38,000 European commercial farmers are providing 90% of the food to a population of 60 million South Africans. The project also empowers women farmers who represent 60% of all small-scale farming activity, but enjoy only 15% of potential yield in the food industry. Special guests are #ClintonVanEden, Head of Block Operations in Africa, #PrinceBobbyKims, CEO of Pure Grow Africa and #DavidSmillie, CEO and owner of VIPA Holdings.

"Block Commodities introducing the new farming model: Integrating African small scale farming into the global farming market". In Africa, building a more sustainable and equal society means empowering farmers, who make up 70% of the continent's labour force. For the change to happen, a new system needs to be put in place; and technology is here to allow this revolution."
