🥕Food Leviathan

Free Token Symbol: FFT

Goal/Mission

The goal of this Leviathan is to provide the whole world with enough food by 2040. It works towards a world where food is abundant, efficient, and freely available to anyone.

Just like other Leviathans, this Leviathan prioritizes decentralized solutions, meaning instead of a big project to provide enough food for everyone, this Leviathan will always pick smaller projects that will generate the same amount of food together.

This is because, a centralized system is not very resilient and this Leviathan is meant to be resilient enough to still offer food abundance to the world even in case of war, natural disasters or any dramatic event.

Why Join?

If you love food of any kind, you should join this Leviathan. It not only works towards making food abundant but also more nutritious.

Items belonging to the Leviathan are kept with its members and go from member to member depending on who needs them and when. Members with the highest level of participation in the Leviathan are more likely to get an item they've requested for than those with a lower level of participation.

You participate by making regular deposits to the valuepools of the Leviathan, sharing items with the community, taking care of items you get from the community, and voting on proposals.

Acquisition Valuepool

This valuepool implements the concept of a distributed food bank. A food bank is basically a partner wall on this Leviathan's CanCan channel, that contains at least one food item: crops, fish, seeds, various meal or meal ingredients (cooked or not), fishing boats, or any equipment that is used to produce or acquire food.

Any member of the valuepool can partner with the channel and post in his/her food bank, items that fit in the food item category that he/she is willing to share with other members of the community.

Imagine having free access to an infinite supply of food items and all you need to do is to request for what you need; provided you can show proof of trustworthiness or active participation to the community.

That's exactly what a distributed food bank is and that's what this valuepool is creating.

A proof is anything that can get other members to trust that providing you access to an item from their respective food banks, actually helps advance the goal of the valuepool. It can be:

• An NFT from the valuepool with enough funds locked under it to pay for the item you're requesting for

• IOUs showing you've been providing items from your own food bank to other members

• A badge from an auditor testifying to your active participation, need for the item, or your trustworthiness

• A good social credit that channels like Tontines can help you create

The more of each of these you have, displayed on your profile page, the higher your chances of getting an item from a food bank that you've requested.

The valuepool uses its fund (which it constitutes from its members' deposits and sponsoring) to buy and distribute more food items across all the food banks with respect to how much of their items they've shared with the community. The decision on how much of each type of food item gets purchased is made by the community through votes

Manufacturing Valuepool

This valuepool builds up bottegas in the food sector so they can help provide enough food to the world.

Its vested token is the Vested Manufacturing Free Food Token (vmFFT) and its token is the Free Food Token (FFT)

This valuepool funds the creation of its bottegas using what we call an infinite investment strategy.

Infinite Investment strategy:

Step 1 - Valuepool uses X amount from its fund to create non-profit Y

Step 2 - Members of valuepool utilize non-profit Y's services/products and value Y at X+ amount

Step 3 - Y borrows X amount from a bank to reimburse valuepool but is still 100% owned by valuepool

Step 4 - Valuepool uses X amount to create a new non-profit Y2

Research Valuepool

This valuepool funds research efforts in the bottegas.

Its vested token is the Vested Research Free Food Token (vrFFT) and its token is the Free Food Token (FFT)

Food Bottegas

These are basically the renaissance bottegas with a campus big enough to house experts and their students. They hold 10% experts in research & manufacturing of food items and 90% students. The role of the Bottegas is to help the Leviathan reach its goal as fast as possible.

Just like with universities, the objective of the experts is to transmit all their knowledge in the field to the students and the objective of the students is to become experts themselves.

Bottegas have comfortable residences for all their experts and apartment buildings for all their students. All utilities are provided free of charge to all residents of a Bottega.

Just like with a workshop, a Bottega has working spaces, factories, labs, and any other necessary infrastructure where both students & experts work on real food projects which is essentially how the experts transmit their knowledge to the students. There are no classes or actual classrooms nor are there any exams or grades. Students' performances are evaluated on the work they do, just like with employees in a tech company.

Both experts or students can get replaced by other experts who are not yet members of the Bottega but prove capable of contributing at a higher level to the Bottega.

How do Bottegas sustain themselves?

Businesses or individuals submit Bottegas, manufacturing, or research orders in the food space and Bottegas also manufacture and sell items in the food space. All the money generated by Bottegas goes to the Leviathan which uses it to sustain them, create new Bottegas, buy items for its members, or invest in other non-profits.

Bottegas put roughly half of their efforts into completing submitted orders and the other half into working on projects intended to provide enough food items to the world.

Tenure

Each expert is responsible for a group of students even if students can still learn from other experts.

After 7 years in a bottega, experts can submit proposals to the manufacturing/research valuepool to get tenure. The more students experts help advance, the higher their chances of getting a favorable vote from the Leviathan's community.

For an expert, getting tenure means having permanent expert status in any Bottega of this Leviathan. Students can become experts and then get tenure as well.

Vision

There will be as many Bottegas as needed in each country around the world to provide each one of those countries with better, cheaper, and ultimately free food.
