About
We are a network of projects in Sicily leveraging regenerative finance and permaculture including a 2 hectare syntropic agroforestry farm, and a .4 hectare forest sanctuary that serves as event space and training grounds for bioregional restoration.
Impact
We're proving communities can steward land together using blockchain tech, while using regenerative farming and tourism to stop wildfires, rewilding Sicily's forests. Our model shows how to coordinate to solve real ecological and economic problems.
Progress
Since 2019: regenerated a 2-hectare farm with 1,000 trees; secured grants from Gitcoin, Giveth, and Octant; built partnerships with Bloom Network, Silvi Protocol and Grassroots Economics; Purchased a 4000 sq mt forest sanctuary in Scopello, Sicily.
Team
We've successfully deployed grants into physical infrastructure, grown working agroforestry sites, and built trust with leading ReFi platforms and locals regens. We're Italy's first association combining legal land ownership with DAO governance.
