There was a time when we used to hunt for food and we had no progress going on for the fact that hunting for satisfying our food needs took up all the time. Then we found out that we could grow food from seeds and that led to us settling down at a specific location where it gave us plenty of time to reflect upon other things that we could improve upon. This led to the overall development of human species.
We could've never advanced so much if we had resorted to just satisfy our hunger by hunting. Agriculture become one of the pinnacle of human achievements, but soon was swamped with the introduction of Industries and companies. Soon, wars followed and many forgot much about the importance of agriculture.
Many switched from farming or growing produce to setting up various industries as it turned out to be more profitable. Agriculture could only yield results once or twice a year but if done correctly, it was an impressive result. Nobody thought of it as the job that enabled you to feed million but as something that you'd do as the last resort in case you got nothing else to do.
So, tell me, if all went off to get corporate jobs and migrated to cities, then who will feed the ever growing population of this World? There'd be large scale food shortages and then maybe the government and people would finally priorities Agriculture.
Agriculture is a vast field and it doesn't only involve the growing of crops. It includes breeding of livestock, medicinal plants and so on. This field has had a large share of its problems and has seen no innovation or a revolution that could bring about an increase in the efficiency and also a better incentive to those pursuing it. Due to it being neglected for so long, there have been not much of a change in the way we de agriculture and it currently involves a lot of risks and guess work for the farmer as important data vital for the growing of crops is unavailable for them to use. It is time the technologically advancing world to focus its resources on solving the problems as soon as possible as demand for food and produce will always increase with the increasing population.
Pavocoin Platform
With the integration of IoT and Blockchain, the Pavocoin Platform aims to solve most of the problems plaguing the Agriculture field. With the IoT devices present on the field, the farmers will be able to get vital data such as soil moisture, weather, temperature, wind speeds and direction, rainfall and data regarding previous dates for comparison and also they enable a predictive feature for the prevention of many diseases.
It also acts as a platform for the owner/farmer to communicate with employees and fellow farmers for the sharing of data down to an individual plant. This data is also made available to the scientists who could bring about better yielding crops without much use of chemicals while remaining safe for consumption. All of this is enabled by their platform and this level of data and analytics was previously unavailable.
ICO & Team
They plan on powering their platform by introducing the Pavocoin Token which is based on Ethereum's ERC-20 Token. This would allow for the consumer to pay for the produce, farmers to earn and the researchers to be able to access the data needed for research. Their Private Pre-Sale has been completed with the Public Pre-Sale currently in progress and ends on 6 August. Their Main-Sale begins on the next day, 7 August. It requires for you to be Registered, Whitelisted and KYC Verified in order to participate in the ICO.
Their Founders have lots of experience in building successful companies and helped incubate a lot of startups. They are supported by an experienced and mature support team consisting of people previously involved in Marketing, Business, Operations, HR, Blockchain, Analytics and Agriculture fields. They are backed by an impressive Advisory Team and Consultants with one among them being none other than the Co-Founder of Electronic Arts, with the others having just as impressive backgrounds in their respective fields.
Conclusion
There has been lot of Projects involving the Blockchain to fix certain problems and many that are trying to do the same with problems that haven't risen yet. I agree it's better to be prepared than suffer later, but it is also not wise to leave the fields currently in need of help and this is one such Project that basically uses the Blockchain to solve them.
They have a really mature team with an impressive advisory team containing members from various fields. They also have a working product and an App for the Android devices with iOS version coming soon. They have also partnered with various industries and companies and have received a lot of media coverage.
With not much of competition facing them, they have all things going in their favour and have all the rights to succeed.
