Since its inception on 23 October 2023, agriiDAO has set ambitious goals for transforming agriculture through decentralisation and innovation. Built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), the platform introduces a model that freeze-dries crops at their source, converting them into Real-World Assets (RWAs). By tackling waste, empowering communities, and leveraging Africa’s agricultural potential, agriiDAO hopes to redefine sustainability and scalability in global food systems.
The initiative is powered by agriiProtocol, a decentralised data management system designed to ensure transparency and trust across its ecosystem. This foundation supports the integration of various tools aimed at streamlining agricultural operations and bridging market data gaps. agriiDAO’s debut comes with two live features: agriiProtocol and agriiPrice, with further milestones planned for 2025, including a freeze-dry facility in South Africa and supply chain transparency tools.
agriiDAO’s focus on Africa underscores its belief in the continent’s untapped potential. With over 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land and comparatively low production costs, Africa is poised to play a critical role in addressing global food security. By freeze-drying crops directly at the source, agriiDAO aims to eliminate waste, preserve nutritional value, and create stable RWAs suitable for both local consumption and international markets.
The platform is a response to pressing global challenges. By 2050, food demand is projected to rise by 60%, requiring innovative solutions to reduce waste and unlock economic opportunities. agriiDAO’s decentralised tools and its freeze-dry-first approach directly address these issues, ensuring no crop or opportunity is squandered.
Guided by the ethos that “food is not a weapon,” agriiDAO emphasises empowerment over control. Its decentralised decision-making framework prioritises community needs, ensuring that agricultural resources serve as tools for growth and sustainability rather than instruments of dependence.
As agriiDAO builds momentum, its use of ICP’s distributed ledger technology positions it as a model for how decentralised solutions can drive global change, creating an agricultural future that’s both innovative and inclusive.
