A
Thanks
for
everyone
is
taking
time
out
of
your
day
to
join
us
for
a
community
update.
Our
second
live
community
update
webinar.
We
hope
to
have
these
on
a
on
a
regular
basis
may
be
monthly,
or
so
it's
like
we're
at
two
Pat's,
the
our
and
O'neill
and
away
our
CEO
for
Region.
Network
has
just
popped
on
and
join
us
I
think
Gregory,
you're
gonna
start
the
call-out.
B
A
C
Right
thanks,
Christian
welcome
everyone.
Seeing
people
tuned
in
from
all
around
the
world
really
exciting
feel
free
to
hop
over
into
our
telegram
Channel
or
type
questions
directly
here
in
to
zoom.
All
questions
and
comments
are
welcome.
We're
excited
to
get
to
communicate
with
everyone.
The
purpose
of
the
call
as
Christian
was
noting
is
to
just
give
everybody
in
an
update
where
we're
at
be
able
to
field
questions
and
in
ideas
from
all
of
you,
I'm
gonna
start
the
call
with
just
a
brief
brief
moment
of
I'm.
D
C
Kind
of
just
blinks
from
this
and
I'm
gonna
pass
it
over
to
Christian
so
that
he
can
do
a
little
bit
more
detailed
operational
back
in
and
then
move
through
that
all
pretty
quick,
so
that
we
can
answer
questions
whether
they
be
technical
or
financial
or
what
so.
It's
been
a
really
busy
months
busy.
Several
months,
things
are
really
starting
to
accelerate.
We've
got
a
amazing
office
with
you
know:
floor-to-ceiling
whiteboards
and
Great
Barrington
Massachusetts,
and
our
development
team,
which
is
from
all
around
the
world.
C
We
had
people
flying
in
from
Hawaii
and
Switzerland
and
Belgium.
Our
our
dev
team
is,
is
co-located
there
in
Great,
Barrington
for
a
design
and
development
sprint
and
we're
working
with
an
amazing
group
of
farms
and
farmers
in
the
Northeast
research
farms
and
conventional
farmers,
and
organic
farmers
and
research
institutions,
Woods
Hole
and
at
Yale
I'm,
connecting
with
teams
that
are
doing
great
work
in
order
to
you
know,
approach
the
data
and
the
practices
from
from
the
right
place,
and
also
we're
really
digging
in
right
now
to
sort
of
the
user
centric
design.
C
C
Christian
and
Brian
were
just
in
Switzerland
at
the
Coe
dialogues
on
food
and
land
security,
I
got
the
privilege
of
being
the
Nexus
and
in
a
event
that
we
co-produced
with
some
of
our
friends
and
allies
at
mega
food,
which
is
a
really
amazing
supplement
company
which
were
chatting
about
helping
them
through
the
use
of
reach,
Network
and
yeah.
So
it's
been
busy
lots
of
edge
and
lots
of
connection
lots
of
events
and
lots
of
really
deep
work
and
I.
C
D
C
Just
sharing
from
a
personal
space,
a
lot
of
you
are
pretty
connected
to
what
region
network
is,
but
let
me
give
you
a
quick
overview
as
well
so
region
network.
Our
aim
is
to
reinvent
the
economics
of
Agriculture
and
realign
short-term
economic
health
with
long-term
ecological
health,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we
really
need
farmers
and
the
rest
of
the
community
that
purchases,
food
and
other
products
to
all
all
have
a
deep
understanding
about
the.
D
D
C
C
C
But
it's
also
really
important
to
understand
that
you
know
we
live
in
a
world
driven
by
finance
and
business
and
so
we're
also
very
pragmatically
creating
sort
of
user
centric
applications
that
make
it
easy
and
valuable
to
join
and
engage
to
be
able
to
understand
more
about
the
health
of
your
your
Agri
ecosystem
and
for
people
be
able
to
fund
that.
So
a
bit
of
a.
D
C
From
busy
bustling
globe-trotting,
Network,
building
on
the
human
side
to
deep,
focused
work
connecting
with
local
farmers,
I
reach
the
world
and
then
working
on
coding
in
such
a
way
that
creates
a
platform
that
can
help
connect
us
all
together,
so
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
to
Christian
now
so
that
you
can
kind
of
dig
in
a
little
bit
to
the
the
update
of
what's
happening
with
the
different
teams
that
are
working
on
region.
That
work,
I.
A
A
In
my
mind,
I've
learned
a
lot
about
the
difference
between
investing
into
mitigation
versus
investing
into
what
they
call
climate
adaptability
and
resilience
quite
a
climate
adaptation
and
resilience
and
learned
a
lot
about
why
90
percent
of
climate
funds
that
are
invested
into
the
world
are
going
into
mitigation
rather
going
into
adaptation
and
resilience.
I'd
say
that
one
of
the
big
another
ways
another
way
of
looking
at
what
it
is
that
region
network
is
doing.
A
Is
that
we're
really
making
it
more
possible
and
more
measurable
and
more
verifiable
to
be
able
to
invest
in
climate
adaptation
and
resilience,
and
what
that
means
to
me
is
primarily
ecological
agriculture,
investing
into
ecosystem
health,
investing
into
watersheds
investing
into
local
communities,
whereas
most
of
the
climate
finance
right
now
is
focused
on.
You
know
huge
wind
farms,
huge
renewable
energy
projects
when
they
do
do
reforestation.
A
It's
usually
a
mono
crop
reforestation
because
that's
very
easy
to
calculate
you
know
we're
gonna
plant
trees,
every
two
meters
and
in
ten
years,
we're
gonna
harvest
a
quarter
and
25
years
gonna
harvest
this
much.
It's
gonna
give
us
that
much
return.
It's
a
lot
harder
to
make
those
calculations
for
small
scale,
distributed
farming
operations,
and
yet,
with
500
million
farmers
on
this
planet,
we
need
to
invite
and
incorporate
their
knowledge
in
their
and
their
their
wisdom
into
this.
A
This
movement,
that's
what
really
moved
to
me
with
working
with
Rito
network
is,
is
the
ability
to
democratize
the
the
reverse
of
global
climate
change
and
uplift
the
lives
of
those
of
those
farmers
doing
the
hard
work
all
around
the
world.
I've
recently
been
saying:
I'd
love
to
see
as
a
side
outcome
of
what
it
is
that
we're
doing
here
for
the
occupation
of
farmer
to
be
seen
similarly
to
the
occupation
of
dr.,
and
why
not?
A
Because
if
you
think
about
it,
both
of
them
are
working
in
the
realm
of
creating
healthy
bodies
and
creeping
keeping
our
families
healthy
and
strong,
and-
and
you
know,
stewarding
long
long,
healthy
lives
for
us
in
our
communities.
So,
rather
than
being
seen
as
a
kind
of
degraded
occupation,
I
wanna
see
farmers
lifted
up
and
be
honored
for
for
what
they're
doing
I'm
off
reading
a
very
book
America
now
on
one
of
the
quotes
out
of
theirs.
A
A
That's
what
it's
all
think
that
what
region
network
is
doing
is
is
is
collecting
that
data
to
be
able
to
measure
the
good
health
of
that
land
and
as
we
as
we
understand
more
about
the
ecological
agriculture
and,
as
we
start
to
aggregate
the
data
into
systems
so
that
you
know
misting
systems
in
our
world
can
employ
that
data
into
real
change
on
the
planet.
From
organizations
like
the
United
Nations
down
to
individual
farmers
that
are
farming,
one
acre
of
land.
A
They
can
understand
and
use
that
data
more
effectively
to
to
make
the
change
that's
needed
for
for
their
own
productivity,
as
well
as
for
the
Earth's
health.
So
what
my
goal
here
is
to
give
you
a
pretty
functional,
update
on
what's
going
on
with
regen
network
and
also
to
help
you
understand
what
it
is,
we're
setting
out
to
do
and
how
you
might
get
involved
with
us
we're
building
a
network.
This
is
something
that
I
want.
Everyone
on.
A
This
call
to
really
understand
is
that
regen
network
is
not
trying
to
be
a
portal
in
a
gatekeeper
and
a
like
a
business
and
the
conventional
sense
where
we
own
all
the
intellectual
property,
and
we
own
all
the
data.
And
if
you
want
to
interact
with
us,
you
need
to
interact
with
us
and
then
we
connected
with
someone
else.
We
take
a
fee
along
the
middle,
we're
creating
a
set
of
tools,
we're
creating
protocols
and
software
which
are
being
put
into
the
public
domain
so
that
anyone
can
utilize
these.
A
We
believe
that
the
network
has
way
more
knowledge
and
power
than
we
could
ever
come
up
with
as
an
individual
group
of
as
a
team.
So
we
want
to
invite
you
into
that
network.
We
want
to
help.
You
understand
how
to
invite
other
people
in
the
network,
because
I
know
that
in
your
town
in
your
family,
in
your
watershed,
maybe
even
in
your
businesses,
there
are
people
that
need
to
know
about
what
we're
doing
and
have
a
critical
piece
to
bring
to
the
bring
to
the
table.
A
A
We
it's
60
people
on
the
potential
of
this
project
that
we're
doing
that's
not
what
this
calls
can
be
about,
but
we'd
love
to
share
with
any
of
you
if
you're
interested,
investing
or
you're
interested.
In
being
part
of
that
aspect,
please
get
a
hold
of
me
I'm
happy
to
set
up
a
call
or
help
you
walk
through
that
process.
A
A
Passion
contribute
to
it.
We
create,
we
do
create
field
teams
so
that
we're
making
sure
that
we're
covering
all
the
areas
that
need
to
be
come.
We
have
a
fund
raising
field
team,
we
have
a
development
field
team,
we
have
a
design
field
team,
we
have
a
marketing
field
team,
we
have
a
team
and-
and
there
may
be
others,
though
sorry
field
teams,
if
I'm
forgetting
you,
but
a
lot
of
those
field
teams
are
overlapping
with
each
other.
A
So
very
few
people
on
the
tee
on
our
teams
are
on
only
one
field
team,
but
most
of
them
understand
what's
happening
to
others,
so
that
we
can
all
hold
the
same
hole
together
and
work
towards.
You
know
in
a
networked
way,
work
towards
health
of
the
health
of
the
whole,
so
I
harvested
some
updates
from
the
field
teams
and
I'm
just
going
to
be
sharing
some
of
those
with
you
right
now.
So
what's
the
big
picture?
You
know,
as
most
of
you
know,
agriculture
is
a
broken
system.
A
It's
not
happy
creates
that
doesn't
buffer
you
off
if
it
also
hosts
the
greatest
potential
to
create
a
healthy
world.
Working
with
the
world's
farmers
region
network
is
reinventing
economics
of
Agriculture.
We
want
to
get
you
involved
in
that
process
as
well.
Region
network
is
a
technology
company,
creating
protocols
and
software
that
powers
an
open,
incentivized
marketplace
for
ecological
data,
so
operating
in
any
scale.
A
Well,
this
transforms
the
impact
from
other
studies.
We've
seen
a
shift
in
practices
in
agriculture
alone.
Could
carbon
dioxide
concentrations
in
the
atmosphere?
None
of
us
are
suggesting
that
we
should
stop
all
the
other
programs.
So
it's
gonna
be
part
of
the
pie
of
reversing
global
climate
change,
but
this
is
a
really
important
one
and
what's
most
exciting
about
it,
is
that
it
also
creates
tons
of
other
multi-faceted
benefits.
So
not
only
are
we
sequestering
carbon
out
of
the
atmosphere
which,
honestly
to
most
of
us
on
our
team
fears,
just
like
a
silent
Trotta?
A
A
See
so,
please
help
us
help
us
do
this.
We
can't
do
it
alone.
This
is
really
a
network
project
and
we
want.
We
want
your
help,
so
I'm
gonna
start
with
fundraising,
because
really
that's
pretty
front
and
center
right
now
and
I'm
excited
to
share.
What's
going
on
with
this,
because
for
me
it
feels
like
we've,
just
turned
a
big
corner
in
the
fundraising
story.
A
A
So
we're
going
through
a
process
of
testing
those
assumptions
and
making
sure
that
that
farmers
actually
back
up
what
we
think
we
know
learning
from
real
people,
real
farmers,
about
what
tools
they
currently
use
like
what
apps
they
used
for
weather,
what
apps
they
used
for
you
know,
planning
their
fertilizer,
regimens,
etc
and
how
they
use
that,
how
frequently
they
use
them
so
that
we
might
harvest
that
knowledge
and
grow
from
it.
On
these
Ironton
protocol
side,
some
of
you
may
have
seen
the
recent
update
in
medium.
A
A
That
will
be
the
validate
verification
methodology
through
which
various
contracts
will
be
based
on
and
farmers
can
test
their
data
against
those
protocols
we're
starting
with
one
that
works
well
for
us
as
a
as
a
place
to
start
the
the
till
no-till
protocol
and
there's
kind
of
two
reasons
we're
starting
with
that.
From
my
perspective,
one
is
that
we
can.
We
can
do
this
protocol
completely
from
remote
sensing.
So
there's
a
big.
You
know
it's
important
to
have
really
trusted
data
in
the
data
world.
That
people
say
trash
in
trash
out.
D
A
With
the
total
protocol,
we're
able
have
a
team
of
three,
maybe
four
I
say,
maybe
because
one
person's
got
a
part
time
on
that
scientists
working
on
not
protocol
and,
as
you
can
see
in
that
blog
post
we've
reached
about
a
98%
accuracy
level,
with
the
forms
that
we've
currently
tested.
So
it's
very
exciting
I
mean
that
that
basically
brings
it
to
a
level
of
accuracy
that
is
plausible
for
the
types
of
applications
that
we
would
like
to
apply.
This
protocol.
A
Even
amongst
conventional
farmers
to
consider
shifting
to
no-till
practices,
so
there's
literally
hundreds
of
thousands
of
acres
of
land
that
are
potentially
considering
shifting
towards
no-till
and
our
verification
protocol
could
be
used
in
incentivizing
those
farmers,
so
USDA
NRCS.
If
you're
watching
this,
you
know
give
us
a
phone
call,
we
could
help
verify
that
you
could
get
more
farmers
signed
up
all
right.
Let
me
give
you
a
little
update
on
our
partnership
side.
A
We
we've
been
approached
frequently
with
lots
of
interest
in
partnerships,
and
we've
been
pretty
picky
about
which
partnerships
we
sign
I
mean
it.
Just
I
personally
spend
a
lot
of
time,
having
calls
and
emails
with
various
potential
partners
about
running
a
pilot
project
or
about
integrating
in
some
way
and
honestly,
it
could
take
up
three
of
our
team
members
times
if
we
were
to
respond
and
communicate
constantly
with
those
folks.
So
we're
trying
to
be
pretty
restrained
about
what
partnerships
we're
getting
in,
but
I
have
a
couple
updates
on
that.
A
A
Another
MOU,
another
partnership,
that's
worth
mentioning,
I-
think
there
on
the
phone.
The
call
right
now
is
with
nori.
So
nori
is
a
carbon
drawdown
marketplace.
We're
super
excited
about
the
development
process.
That's
happening
with
them.
Our
developers
have
been
on
calls
and
we're
making
sure
that
what
we're
building
fits.
They
are
interested
in
being
a
marketplace
for
carbon
credits
and
would
like
us
to
be
the
verifiers
of
the
the
fact
that
that
carbon
was
actually
drawn
into
the
soil.
A
So
one
last
thing:
I
just
learned
about
this
morning:
I'll
just
kind
of
read
it
right
here,
I'm
delighted
to
share
that
out
of
nearly
a
hundred
compelling
nominations
for
the
verge
accelerator
program
region,
Network
has
been
selected
to
be
a
semifinalist
and
featured
in
the
community.
Voting
semi-finals,
so
it'd
be
awesome.
If
you
guys
would
vote
for
us,
I
actually
I
assume
that
that
voting
isn't
already
happening.
I
don't
know
Elissa.
Maybe
you
can
post
that
in
our
in
our
telegram.
C
A
A
Just
so
you
know,
we
currently
have
two
legal
entities,
and
mostly
because
of
for
legal
reasons,
one
legal
entity
is
as
filling
the
dev
process
and
running
the
token
sale.
The
other
legal
entity
called
regen
foundation
is
just
just
being
spun
up
we're
just
days
away
from
launching
a
landing
page
for
region
foundation,
but
we're
already
I've
been
super
excited
to
share
that
we've
been
granted
fiscal
sponsorship
by
the
buckminster,
fuller
Institute,
while
we're
waiting
for
our
501c3
status.
So
that
means
we
can
start
to
accept.
Tax-Deductible
donations.
A
I
know,
there's
a
number
of
people
out
there
who
either
don't
qualify
as
an
accredited
investor,
so
couldn't
invest
into
our
organization
or
actually
said
that
this
project
seems
more
like
something
that
they
would
like
to
be
in
their
charitable
giving
portfolio,
rather
than
in
their
investment
portfolio,
so
excited
to
share
that.
That's
totally
possible
right
now.
A
If
anyone
please
reach
out,
if
you'd
like
to
to
give
a
donation,
we
also
on
the
region
foundation,
side
of
things
we've
sent
out
the
first
consortium
member
agreements
for
region
consortium
regions,
consortium
is
the
governing
body
for
the
chain
itself
and
also
we'll
be
selecting
the
board
of
directors
for
the
foundation
in
the
long
term.
So
over
the
next
five
years,
there'll
be
a
transition
from
the
original
board
of
directors
in
to
the
consortium
selected
board
of
directors.
A
So
now
we'll
be
making
some
announcements
as
those
member
agreements
come
back
in
as
to
who
the
first
members
of
our
of
our
Regent
consortium
are
yeah.
There's
a
lot
moving
feels
to
me,
like
region
network,
is
just
just
humming
along
right
now
and
super
excited
to
share
all
this.
A
little
bit
of
our
outreach
just
in
case
anyone's
in
the
San
Francisco
area.
During
the
global
climate
summit
happening
September
12th
through
the
14th,
both
Gregory
and
I,
as
well
as
David,
are
the
chief
marketing
officer
as
well
as
Bryan.
A
Our
partners
lead
and
as
well
as
Daniel.
One
of
our
developers
will
all
be
in
San
Francisco.
That
week,
we'll
be
taking
part
in
a
couple
different
events
and
would
love
to
meet
you
in
person
and
and
see
you
there
we're
also
hosting
a
investor
roundtable
later
in
the
month,
excited
to
that'll
be
happening
in
New,
York
City.
A
If
you,
if
you'd
like
more
information
about
the
a
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
well,
I,
think
that's
about
the
I'm
there's
a
lot
more
I
I
narrowed
that
down
from
from
a
lot
more
bullets,
but
I
think
that's
about
the
updates
Gregory.
Do
you
have
any
anything
more
you'd
like
to
add
that
you
you
have
going
on
in
your
in
your
realm?
Oh.
C
So
much
but
I
would
love
to
open
it
up
for
questions
and
comments
and
and
just
sort
of
tune
in
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
Burge
I'm,
pretty
excited,
we've
also
been
invited
to
speak
there,
so
I'll
be
on
a
panel
talking
about
blockchain
and
agriculture,
actually
with
a
like
the
corporate,
social
or
corporate
sustainability
officer
of
Walmart
I.
Think
so.
That's
fascinating
panel,
for
those
of
you
who
are
in
the
Bay
Area
verge,
is
a
pretty
amazing
event.
C
That's
happening
in
October
and
and
we
got
nominated
into
the
semi-finals
of
their
pitch
competition,
but
should
be
pretty
fun
and
Gobbo
for
us,
because
it'll
be
awesome
to
think
you
can
vote
once
a
day,
so
you
know
feel
free
to
vote
every
day,
so
yeah
I'm.
Just
do
you
want
to
turn
your
camera
on
yeah
I
was
just
on
silent.
There
hi
everybody.
D
C
Have
joined,
which
is
really
exciting.
With
that
a
pretty
awesome
crew,
it
looks
like
there's
about
50
people
on
the
call.
So
again,
if
you
want
to
just
chat,
some
questions
feel
free,
we're
gonna,
we'd
love
to
kind
of
engage
folks
a
little
bit
so
I
can
allow
people
to
talk.
So
if
you
want
to
raise
your
hand
or
had
a
question,
it'd
be
fun
to
get
some
of
the
voices
on
here.
C
C
C
B
B
B
C
B
C
I'd
be
happy
to
speak
about
that
and
Christian
feel
free
to
jump
in
as
well.
Well,
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
excitement
from
the
academic
community
of
late.
Because
of
our
approach.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
is
you
you
could
sort
of
think
of
it
as
well.
I'll
throw
out
a
word
here.
C
Pharmaceutical
biochemical
research
because
there's
a
there's
like
a
clear
pathway
towards
monetization
of
that
research
in
the
pharma
industry
and
you
might
think
of
what
we're
doing
as
creating
sort
of
a
decentralized
monetization
strategy
for
research
and
development
and
technology
around
the
health
of
living
systems
of
ecosystems.
And
what
that
means
is
that
research,
that's
been
sort
of
locked
up
and
siloed
and
research
institutions
around
the
world
and
careers
of
people.
C
Who've
been
sort
of
like
doing
this
amazing
work
on
ecological
health
and
how
to
monitor
and
verify
that
and
and
and
how
to
upgrade
that
health
is,
is
sort
of
disaggregated
and
and
not
unified,
and
there's
no
clear
way
to
sort
of
monetize
that
or
bring
it
to
market
or
to
inspect.
So
the
academic
community,
I
think
is
getting
increasingly
excited
that
there's
sort
of
a
way
in
which
they
can
people
can
publish
protocols
which
you
know
on
our
use
of
a
protocol.
C
In
this
case,
we
might
say
it's
the
scientific
measurement
methodology
where
you
say
you
need
to
measure
X&Y
in
the
following
way
that
can
published
and
utilized
on
region
network,
and
they
can
essentially
receive
every
time
that
that's
used
a
fee
for
the
use
of
that,
and
so
we're
sort
of
bringing
them
into
a
marketplace
to
unlock
that
collective
intelligence.
Essentially.
B
We're
a
is
there
a
mechanism
for
essentially
vetting
expertise,
or
is
that
going
to
be
handled
through
a
kind
of
community
based
or
crowd-sourced
methodology
where
essentially,
the
the
quality
of
the
work
speaks
for
itself
and
that
that
it's
essentially
vetted
by
the
market
uptake
of
it?
Or
do
you
have
any
kind
of
pre
vetting
of
you
know
so
that
you're,
you
have
a
kind
of
QC
ability,
yeah.
C
At
the
beginning,
it
will
be
pre-vetted.
We've
been
researching
some
interesting
opportunities
with
you
know,
curation
marketplaces
and,
of
course,
there
there's
also
sort
of
embedded
into
our
architecture.
The
ability
to
sort
of
have
that's
one
of
the
uses
of
the
blockchain
is
you
can
basically
embed
all
of
the
information
about
the
success
of
that
of
the
use
of
that
protocol
and
it
then
becomes
visible,
so
the
market
can
be
very
intelligent.
C
In
this
moment
you
know
we're
working
with
you
know,
academic
institutions
that
are
very
highly
regarded
and-
and
you
know,
keeping
it
pretty
tight
so
that
it's
it's
super
useful
and
then,
as
we
move
towards
network
launch,
they'll
be
sort
of
more
of
a
peer-to-peer
capacity
for
people
to
just
dive
in
and
start
innovating
and
sharing
that
and
and
allowing
people
to
engage
with
you
know
new
protocols.
So
it's
sort
of
a
yes
and
and
phased
approach.
It's
not
sort
of.
We
can't
automatically
just
go
to
a
highly
designed
and
sort
of
yeah.
C
And
actually
you
know
it's
it's.
This
is
there's
been
so
much
movement
that
this
myth,
but
we
we
brought
on
a
new
adviser,
Nathan
Woolworths
and
he's
he's
a
post-doc
researcher
at
University
of
Southern
California,
doing
a
bunch
of
ocean
work
and
he's
got
sort
of
diving
in
and
bringing
this
out
into
the
academic
world
to
say:
hey
guys,
we
could
start
publishing
our
you
know,
protocols
on
region
Network
in
this
way
and
and
starting
to
sort
of
do
some
community
curation
around
that.
A
C
I
think
I
can
so
Antonio
asked
when
is
the
X
or
in
token
sale
live?
We
are
currently
in
a
private
seed
round
for
accredited
investors.
So
that's
live
right
now
and
if
you're,
if
you'd
like
to
find
out
more
I'm.
So
that's
for
us
persons
and
there's
also
a
contemporaneous
sale
for
non-us
persons
and
if
you'd,
like
more
detailed
information
about
that,
you
can
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
office
at
regen
network.
There's
also
information
on
the
website
and
Christian.
D
C
A
And
to
add
to
that,
if
you
had
I
mean
Gregory's
talking
about
all
sorts
of
conservation
and
forestry
and
mera
mariculture
benefits,
but
if
you're
also
talking
about
non
physical
regenerative
efforts
like
social
regenerative
efforts,
there's
the
the
the
infrastructure
that
we're
building
can
support
it.
I
would
I
would
say
that
at
this
moment,
we're
very
hesitant
to
engage
in
a
discussion
about
social
regenerative
efforts
and
trying
to
trying
to
promote
or
incentivize
particular
changes,
because
for
whatever
reason,
our
society
feels
very
comfortable
about
applying
applying.
A
C
Not
and-
and
it's
not
so
sticky
to
say
that
there's
like
the
health
of
the
planet
is
represented
by
these
factors
which
we
can
monitor
and
measure
and
that
and
that
can
file
down
to
soil,
health
and
water
quality.
These
other
things
and
here's
how
we
can
know
if
that's
true
and
how
we
can
reward
things.
That's
not
a
very
it's
sort
of
a
it's,
not
a
sticky
political,
challenging
and
and
oppressive
thing.
It's
pretty
clear
and
clear-cut.
C
A
A
You
know
busy
with
preparing
for
these
webinars
and
other
things
that
it
hasn't
gotten
out.
But
looking
for
that
soon,
on
a
more
broad
level,
we
are
sending
consortium
member
agreements
out
to
about
ten
organizations
that
we
believe
are
great
organizations
to
be
the
founding
ten
members
of
the
consortium
and
we'll
be
making
announcements
as
those
as
those
come
back
and
the
affirmative
and
for.
C
Agriculture
and
ecological
knowledge
and
data,
and
brought
more
broadly
speaking,
forestry
and
ocean
management.
The
folks
are
also
welcome
and
they
will
be,
they
will
have
sort
of
the
authority
to
maintain
the
consensus
of
the
blockchain
and
the
integrity
of
the
blockchain.
So
that's
the
governance
mechanism
of
region
network
is
represented
by
the
consortium
and
you
can
read
a
little
bit
more
in
detail
about
that
in
the
white
paper
and
also,
if
you've
got
questions
about
those
sorts
of
things.
C
Think
it's
possible
one
of
the
interesting
things
the
Christian
didn't
mention
is
the
the
automated
contracting
or
ecological
contracting
mechanism
that
we're
building
you
know
to
can
create
multi-party,
automated
contracts.
Where
you
could
say
every
time
my
doctor
says
like
a
business
and
a
individual
could
have
a
relationship
with
you
say
every
time,
I.
C
C
So
who
automatically
pays
to
incentivize
regeneration
where
otherwise,
it's
not
incentivized
I
mean
he's
thinking
about
elephants
in
particular,
it's
a
great
question.
I
think
we're
focused
in
the
short
term
on
where
there
are
existing
pools
of
money
that
are
blocked
from
effectively
achieving
the
ecological
outcome,
aims
that
they
have
and
making
that
happen
more
efficiently,
because
that's
a
that's
a
sort
of
market
strategy
that
allows
us
to
grow
the
network.
Your
question,
though,
is
a
really
important.
C
So
the
cool
thing
is:
is
we
sort
of
we
create
this
direct
and
frictionless
ability
for
people
as
a
global
community
to
value
the
things
that
we
need
to
be
protecting
and
regenerating?
So,
hopefully,
that's
a
helpful
answer
for
you
Zac
around
sort
of
how
we're
unlocking
the
potential
to
incentivize
things
are
important
and
not
just
sort
of
making
it
so
that
we're
waiting
for
some
government
somewhere,
you
of
it
all.
A
Right
and
I
want
to
add
to
that
that
I
believe
there's,
there's
kind
of
known
mechanisms
that
we're
planning
for
and
there's
there's
also
a
whole
set
of
unknown
mechanisms
that
we
believe
will
be
built
into
this.
So
there's,
there's
donor
pools
that
are
out
there
interested
in
and
investing
and
donating
into
climate
mitigation
and
ecological
stewardship.
We're
gonna
be
able
to
give
the
data
and
the
verification
of
that
actually
happening
so
that
they
can
put
their
donate
donated
funds
in
a
healthy
direction.
There's
there's
huge
amounts
of
money.
I
just
learned
this.
A
In
this
last
week,
I
mean
nearly
nearly
a
trillion
dollars
from
some
people's
estimates
sitting
on
the
sidelines,
waiting
to
be
invested
with
small
returns
into
projects
that
have
real
palpable
ecological
and
social
returns.
So
part
of
what
region
network
is
doing
is
building
the
infrastructure
through
which
those
investments
can
be
made,
and
those
returns
can
be
transparently
logged
into
a
ledger
so
that
the
economic
and
social
returns
are
logged
and
the
fight
the
financial
flows
of
money
are
logged
and
that
transparency
it
makes
it
that
much
more
clear
and
easy
to
invest.
A
And
then
the
third
piece
I
want
to
say
is
just
there's,
probably
a
bunch
of
unknown
mechanisms
which
we,
which
we
expect
folks
like
yourself
on
this
call
others
to
build
apps
on
top
of
what
we're
building
to
enable
a
whole
other
world
of
of
engagement.
You
know
we
had
a
call
with
a
group
over
they
called
dashboard
IO
or
something
like
that.
I
think
dashboard.
C
So
there's
another
question
here:
the
question
is:
do
you
think
that
you
need
to
balance
your
system
in
terms
of
local
and
global
investments?
The
context
being
the
richer
areas
of
the
world
certainly
benefit
from
local
regenerative
work,
but
the
poor,
arid
regions
of
the
world
will
have
fewer
local
investors.
Perhaps
the
balance
would
be
that
too
much
investment
would
go
towards
those
regions
and
not
enough
for
the
u.s.
C
Midwest
or
Northeast
yeah,
so
I
think
again,
I
think,
there's
sort
of
a
complexity
to
that
which
is
worth
just
noting
and
and
holding,
and
then
talk
about
how
we're
approach.
So
what
we're
approaching
is
finding
partner
partnership
opportunities
that
allow
us
to
go
work
on
pilots
and
and
some
of
those
pilots.
Interestingly
enough,
are
in
some
very
poor
regions
where
there
are
existing.
C
You
know
like
were
in
conversation
with
some
great
organizations
in
India
that
would
like
to
be
able
to
funnel
financial
resources
towards
small
holder
farmers
for
their
good
stewardship
and
and
it's
on
a
desert,
off'
Iong
edge.
So
it's
just
that
kind
of
like
it's
similar
to
some
some
opportunities
we
see
in
sub-saharan
Africa
and
other
places
where
you
can
sort
of
have
its
enormous
influence
by
connecting
an
aggregate
of
many
many
different,
small
landholders
and
valuing
them
and
sort
of
giving
them
almost
of
a
basic
income
for
their
stewardship.
C
Because
of
the
value
that
generates
for
the
planetary
Commons.
I
think
that
that
is
is
kind
of
universally
applicable.
If
you
think
about
the
ecosystem
service
of
shifting
the
entire
Midwest
of
the
us
towards
no-till,
just
as
a
start
and
in
Georgia
regenerative
agriculture
more
deeply,
but
the
impact
that
would
have
on
the
health
of
the
of
the
Gulf
of
Mexico,
for
instance,
and
the
dead
zone.
That's
there
and
then
the
impact
that
that
has
on
the
on
the
global
system.
C
It's
you
know,
I
think
that,
as
a
Christian
was
saying,
there's
there's
a
huge
pot
of
money.
That
is,
is
understands
the
cost
of
not
taking
his
actions
but
hasn't
been
able
to
link
itself
to
a
robust
enough
sort
of
verification
mechanism
in
order
to
trust
the
investments
in
these
sort
of
more
complex
multi-stakeholder
systems.
And
that's
that's
a
big
part
of
what
we're
building
is
the
infrastructure
that
makes
that
possible.
C
A
There's
actually,
some
folks
on
this
call
from
the
most
messed
up:
Masai
wrist,
rest
pastoral
restoration
project
which
we're
about
working
with
them,
they're,
employing
holistic
management
practices
in
rotational
grazing
of
animals
in
with
the
Masai
peoples
in
central
Africa.
So
it's
a
great
example
we're
in
talking
with
them
it
it's
it's
not
going
to
take
much
incentive
in
terms
of
our
Western
compared
to
Western
farmers,
to
help
them
shift
and
really
transform
the
way
that
they
relate
to
their
animals
in
their
landscape.
C
A
C
I
mean
that's
also
totally
a
use
case
where
a
community
can
say
you
know.
If
this
happens,
then
this
company
needs
to
pay
this
so
that
we
can
restore
it
like.
There
are
things
that
can
be
automated
in
the
system,
and
so
we
tend
to
really
focus
on
the
regenerative
side,
because
we're
very
excited
to
shift
the
paradigm
so
that
people
can
understand
that
humans
can
be
a
force
for
cultivating
biodiversity
and
soil,
health
and
water
quality
and
and
and
air
quality.
C
A
I
mean
the
first
thing:
I
want
to
say
is
just
get
the
name
right
of
that
project,
because
I
want
to
honor
them
and
they're
what
they're
doing
out
there.
It's
called
the
Messiah
Center
for
regenerative
pastoralism,
but
they
doing
doing
some
great
stuff
there
in
Kenya
yeah,
with
three
with
two
minutes
left
until
the
top
of
the
hour.
A
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
so
much
for
your
participation
in
this
event,
I
think
what
we'll
do
with
the
questions
they're
leftovers,
we'll
bring
them
over
to
our
Telegram
channel
our
public
Telegram
channel
and
give
you
some
answers
there
then
the
next
in
the
next
couple
hours.
Thank
you
all
very
much
and
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out
and
continue
connecting
with
us.
As
I
said
at
the
beginning
of
the
hour.
This
is
about
building
a
network
region
network
is
not
the
15
of
us
that
are
currently
working
on
our
region.
