AID:Tech
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Irela
We started AIDTech to offer better transparency in international aid and support services for refugees migrants and those in need. We want to offer a solution to the problem of financial inclusion for those who are currently excluded from public financial and digital services because they are unbanked or undocumented. Using blockchain based technology allows for direct entitlements and complete traceability and transparency. The problem we are solving is firstly that of financial inclusion. Once a beneficiary is registered on our platform via our partners such as the Red Cross the UN or governmental welfare depts they gain a access to a diverse variety of services. Through access to an accredited personal profile beneficiary can lay claim to services such as capital insurance pensions donations and remittances. This serves as the basis towards more equitable basic human rights and access. Using the example of a smallholding farmer by establishing a legal identity (SDG 16.9) documented on the blockchain their profile serves to host entitlements such as land registry records insurance and remittances. In 10 years time we want to see hundreds of millions of users transacting on our platform making the most of services made available via our blockchain solution.

The Community Markets Purchasing Real and Affordable (Compra)
United States of America
Community Markets Purchasing Real and Affordable (COMPRA) Foods is a purchasing cooperative project that creates an alternative food distribution system for small grocers and convenience stores in food desert neighborhoods in Los Angeles. There is currently a large disconnect in the food system in these communities. Small food retailers in the Promise Zone often source their food products from big box grocers paying full price for these products and then marking them up for sale in their own establishments. This often occurs because entrepreneurs lack relationships with distributors who can deliver produce to their businesses at wholesale prices. Small and mid size farmers who may be interested in selling their produce directly to these establishments also lack the relationships and efficient distribution systems that can connect them to the hundreds of stores in low income food deserts.This service gap between growers distribution companies and small food retailers impacts low income consumers tremendously.

Treebos
Treebos uses a vertically integrated model to reorganize the financing production and produce distribution of small farms. rnrnTreebos.com enables web users to plant virtual trees online that represent actual fruit trees that Treebos plants in small farms in Brazil. Subscribers watch their trees grow online and get regular updates. They also purchase subscriptions that deliver the organic fruit sourced from these trees or local sustainable farms to their homes and offices. This creates a new source of web aggregated capital that subsistence farmers use to rebuild their agri businesses using organic methods and increase their income. rnrnTreebos addresses massive inefficiencies in Brazilian agriculture and supply chains up to 40% of produce gets lost on the way from the farm to table and the farmer gets only around 7% of the final market price. Brazil alone has over 3 million subsistence farms that lack access to productive investment and security of sale. Treebos creates an efficient supply chain and connects urban users directly with rural farmers paying farmers 60% more in the process. It also provides subscribers with their personal social and environmental impact metrics.
