Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 90 - EthicHub - Regenerative finance to empower smallholder farmers
In episode 90, we’re thrilled to welcome Gabriela Chang, Co-Founder and CSO of EthicHub, the First regenerative finance protocol connecting people & unbanked smallholder farmers globally using Web3. EthicHub recently won the International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications’ Most exciting ReFi project award. We discuss how Web3 can support smallholder farmers, EthicHub’s innovative crowdlending model, blockchain as an important tool for building trust, the regenerative finance movement, and much more
Three Key Takeaways
Regenerative finance can help shift economic systems from ones of winners and losers to ones that give all parties the opportunity to benefit from their participation in economic activities. In this case, that includes the smallholder farmer, lender, the platform, and the planet.
Web3 can help build relationships around the globe, not from a colonialist perspective, but from one where everyone is viewed as an equal and collaborative partner.
Blockchain can bring credibility and trust to development efforts by using transparent smart contracts and transacting on an immutable public blockchain.
