Glad to hear that you understand the value we're bringing in.  ;D

is this project backed or licensed by someone?

VFarm system is a proven, research backed farming technology licensed by Agrosky Sdn. Bhd (ASSB), a vertical farming specialist. The system provides a DLT blockchain layer that creates an immutable record for each batch of produce as to enable verification of source, planting, packaging and distribution. This in turn enables ecosystem users to not only have total traceability of the produce on food safety but also drive social impact via informed choices on their purchases.

I guess you also get data by using blockchain on planting?

Yes! We record produce planting data, transportation data, consumer analytics, and a lot more. Blockchain is definitely an amazing technology that we're putting in the agriculture space!

Well that's a great way of utilizing blockchain. Can you list the main utility for the token?

The VFT Token can be utilized for the following actions:
✅Record produce planting data
✅Record transportation data
✅Premium verify produce
✅Access analytics and insight
✅Premium consumer analytics
✅System License Transactions

Is this sector marketable? Is it a new thing?

Vertical farming market was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2016 and is expected to register a CAGR of 23.03% during the forecast period (2018-2023).

Pretty neat! So what exactly are there four main components form the pillar of VFarm?

Glad you asked! These four pillars support a firm foundation for an efficient production of crops and a robust VFT token utilization ecosystem. The four pillars comprised of the following: Applications, Token Usage, Agriculture Blockchain, and Vertical Farming. As we all know, Vertical farming is defined as when plants or crops are grown inside of a skyscraper greenhouse or on a vertically Revolutionizing Urban Farming inclined surface. A vertical farm is an idea of building entire skyscrapers occupied with vertically stacked farms that produce crops twice as fast, while using 40% less power, having 80% less food waste, and using 99% less water than outdoor fields.

Sounds good to me, what is the project's target exactly?

VFarm plans to support existing and planned initiatives targeted at food security, medicine, and cosmetics in high-density cities in Asia and Africa involving international agencies and also private foundations and corporations.

VFarm targets to license 15 of its systems to the targeted and potential market within 24 months of operations especially to cities that are in dire need of food security which makes a total of 30 farms setup within the period.

Awesome! Goodluck on the project then and looking forward for more updates!

Thanks for your support! Stay tuned for more updates here and in our Telegram Group!

Will this token be mineable in the future just in case? Or just available for the ICO?

No. Any news or changes regarding that will be announced further.

What is your project trying to aim?

Good question! The idea of building vertically stacked farms on skyscrapers that produce crops twice as fast, while using 40% less power, having 80% less food waste, and using 99% less water than outdoor fields is definitely the way forward.

Interesting, its helping out the environment in a way as well together with having good cause.

Yes, definitely. 👍 We're aiming to revolutionize urban farming by licensing VFarm System module globally. The VFarm system can be applied for the planting, production on food, cosmetics and medical purposes.and distribution of plants for the use on. 🌱

Won't vertical farms be more expensive to set up than traditional ones? My main worry being it will not be accessible to people

During the initial stage, vertical farming may be very expensive but after the first few years it will become a cheaper form of farming.

What key selling points does this infrastructure bring to the table?

Here are some key selling points for the project:

• A highly efficient, high density vertical farming solution that can yield 360 times more produce on the same square footage as conventional farming and is capable of producing crops for food, cosmetics and medical purposes;
• Supply chain traceability down to the exact time on the farm which allows tracking, verification & analytics to be performed in almost real-time providing a quantum leap in governance and efficacy of the supply chain;
  

More on our whitepaper: https://vfarm.global/whitepaper.pdf

Will VFarm host their own bounty campaign?

There are no announcements regarding that yet but we will keep you posted as soon as there are any words about bounties!

Your team should highly consider it, bounties do really help a lot in terms of getting exposure for your project. and at the same times gather possible supporters.

Gotcha, we appreciate you bringing your suggestion forward and the benefits are always great. What other things are you looking forward for VFarm?

360 times  :o Well that efficiency sounds great. Is this purely for vegetables?

The farm can be utilized for cosmetics and medicinal plants aswell!  :)

What is the hardcap?

The hardcap for the VFarm ICO is $10 million.

Okay good, seems realistic at least. Thanks for the answer.

Happy to help, PaoAJ! Have you already joined our Telegram group?

Any plans on having your own bounty campaign?

There are no official word/updates regarding that yet but we will keep you in the loop once we get any word regarding that. 👍

Have you started building farm already?

VFarm has commenced the build on the first farm in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur in May 2019, and is expected to yield the first batch of crops by the end of August 2019

That's good to know. Now we can see and wait if this is viable in a larger scale. What's the estimate production rate?

The first farm is designed to produce 20 tonnes of crops monthly which will be marketed through contract farming.

What’s the advantage of Vertical Farming over Traditional Farming as a whole?

Interesting question. Here are some of the advantages over Traditional farming that Vertical farming has:
- Maximum crop yield.

- Reduces transportation costs.

- Uses minimal water.

- Area required to grow crops/plants

- Grows food organically

- The price

Interesting result, it also helps the ecosystem as a whole as well. Not just with the technology alone.

Glad you're seeing the value we're bringing in! This enables ecosystem users to not only have total traceability of the produce on food safety but also drive social impact via informed choices on their purchases.

How will you sustain operation? Where will the revenue come from?

They will come from a number of sources:

• Proceed from contract farming
• Access to blockchain DLT data read and write for capture, verification, or tracking
• Transaction fees for any payment
• Payment for VFarm system licensing fee
• Real time analytics and insights

Check out some pictures from our already built Physical Farm (POC): 🌱🌱🌱

Content are well researched - design is nice. One of the most detailed paper I've seen in a while.

Thank you. What other things are you looking forward to see in VFarm?

An AMA would be good. Or a simple video interview with the team would be good..

Wow, that is such a great idea! We'll definitely take it into consideration.  :D

I read in a telegram about a good bonus at the pre-iso stage. How soon will it start?
I like the photos of the farm, it would be even cooler to see the video  ::)

Hey Sharkzz, the dates are currently TBD but we will announce it on all social media channels once it has been finalized already.

And that's actually a great idea! A video showing the pictures in the farm will definitely be amazing. Thank you and we will take it into consideration.  :)

Any particular news with when the ICO will take place? The discussions about those bonuses above are definitely worth looking at.

The dates are currently TBD but we will keep you in the loop once we get any word regarding the dates. 😊

Will it happen sometime very soon?

I have no confirmation regarding the exact dates yet, my apologies. Rest assuretd that I'll notify everyone once we release an official date though!

So when will you start accepting contract farming??

As per our roadmap, Contract farming will begin in August 2019.

Can I have the Roadmap? Wanna see where you guys are aiming to go to at certain stages of the year

Here's the link to our roadmap and  you can read more about it here:
https://vfarm.global/roadmap.html

Ohh pretty quick ICO period compared to others. Will there be a vesting period for team tokens?

Yes, all tokens held by founders, project team and advisory panelist will be reverse vested over 12 months with monthly vesting windows.

Can you elaborate a bit more what vertical farming is??

Vertical farming is defined as when plants or crops are grown inside of a skyscraper greenhouse or on a vertically Revolutionizing Urban Farming inclined surface. A vertical farm is the idea of building entire skyscrapers occupied with vertically stacked farms that produce crops twice as fast, while using 40% less power, having 80% less food waste, and using 99% less water than outdoor fields.

Numbers sound very promising. Thanks for explaining

You're welcome. You can read further in detail in our whitepaper https://vfarm.global/whitepaper.pdf

Correct if I'm wrong, your token will be an ERC-20 right?

You got it, the VFarm (VFT) utility token is fully ERC20 compliant and is available for swap with ETH and BTC.

Do you have plans of going into another platform such as GoChain?

I'm afraid not, we will stay in ERC20 for now.

what does the verifier part of the application do? im kinda confused about it.

Verifier that allows anyone in the ecosystem to verify the source, specifics from seed supplier and other pertinent data points to the logistics chain that has handled the produce.

Do you have a plan in place to kickstart this project?

Yes, VFarm has secured fundament markets through its stakeholder which owns A list buildings in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur and Central London. In all, VFarm is initiating on 15 farms, of which 11 is in Kuala Lumpur and 4 in London.

Your physical farms does look good. This could be the future, and since CBD is on the rise, they may use this.

Wow, good point with the CBD! Although there are no official statements regarding that, that's another avenue we can look at. :)

Agree. They just legalized cannabis in the US, this is hot and can use it.

Yes! Our team will definitely take it into consideration and we appreciate it! Our upcoming CBD farms may have what you guys are suggesting, so thank you!

Good, you are debating to different farms and if you manage to upload some of the photos then it will help the community to know where you are farming? Without seeing potential activity it is impossible for the community to get awareness about the project.

Check out this additional photos from our already built farm

https://i.postimg.cc/yJcC5RxW/v7.jpg (https://postimg.cc/yJcC5RxW)  https://i.postimg.cc/14JhLsm0/v8.jpg (https://postimg.cc/14JhLsm0) https://i.postimg.cc/wygZGbnb/v9.jpg (https://postimg.cc/wygZGbnb) https://i.postimg.cc/8J49QmSk/v10.jpg (https://postimg.cc/8J49QmSk) https://i.postimg.cc/G936PVF4/v11.jpg (https://postimg.cc/G936PVF4)

I love how you guys are helping the environment as well, great use case!

We appreciate your kind words! Here at VFarm, we believe that a community-driven ecosystem that fosters entrepreneurship, fuelled by high-quality content and rewards and hosted on a blockchain- based platform is the solution.

Looks so efficient. A video would be nice as it's hard to imagine the scale with just image.

We have clips available but they have not been edited yet. Stay tuned for those  8)

Was wondering what is the exact token usage?

Any usage of tokens envisaged by this White Paper will only be used in exchange for the products or services on the VFarm platform (subject to availability at the discretion of VFarm) and no other function or rights shall be attached to the tokens.

Oh I see okay, it's clear. Also, why funding with the token crowdswap?

VFarm's objective is to enable easy and fast access to products and services while providing users with the power to create social impact through their choice of actions. VFarm also aims to create an equitable ecosystem for farmers that can be achieved by an output based contribution. This cannot be done without utility crypto tokens and the blockchain.

Can I receive my token immediately after purchase/?

VFarm (VFT) tokens will be issued immediately at the end of each stage of crowdswap.

Any planned exchanges in line to list VFT?

No exact plans yet but we'll keep it transparent to the community once we get any updates!

We'd love to know ahead of time so we can prepare  :(

No worries there. Everything aspect will be looked into.

What exactly is vertical farming when you're saying it?

Vertical farming is defined as when plants or crops are grown inside of a skyscraper greenhouse or on a vertically Revolutionizing Urban Farming inclined surface. A vertical farm is any building that grows plants and is higher than a single storey.

I see, that's why it provides benefits such as reduced transportation cost and other stuff for the environment. Great concept.

Any plans of getting bounties?

There are no official announcements regarding that yet but we will keep the community in the loop once we get any word regarding that.

Why the need for LED lights?? Can you use a combination of natural and other lights?

Great question. LED lighting gives out light of different wavelengths that target different types of chlorophyll. This increases the amount of sunlight absorbed, therefore making photosynthesis very efficient, thus assisting in achieving the primary goal of vertical farming which is to produce more food per square meter.

Very informative project about technology that can help the environment too.

Definitely, and we're glad that you're seeing the value that we're bringing in!

Vertical farming is not new. Let's see how this team executes it.

The team is hard at work to deliver a competitive infrastructure.

Will the VFT be required by farms to store data?

The VFT token is required for farms to write their planting data onto the VFarm Agro Traceability Blockchain. The data comes from the IoT sensor array and manual input.

Interesting, I'll keep on learning more and get back to you.

Sounds good, don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any!

Sounds good and we're happy to help! Re: IEO inquiries, we'll keep you in the loop!

Any countries restricted to participate on the Token sale??

Yes, residents of Malaysia, Singapore and United States of America are restricted to participate.

Why are you gonna fund with the tokenswap?

Our aim for VFarm is to enable easy and fast access to produce and services while providing users with the power to create social impact through their choice of actions. VFarm also aims to create an equitable ecosystem for farmers that can be achieved by an output- based contribution. This cannot be done without utility crypto tokens and the blockchain.

Looks very organized. Keep it up 👍

What countries are restricted to participate on the sale??

Restrictions for residents of Malaysia, Singapore and United States of America.

Finally! Been waiting for your event.  :)

Don't forget to share it with your friends!

Will do, got some bounty hunter groups there

What other benefits can we get from VFarm asides from it being cheaper in the long run?

VFarm provides Maximum crop yield, lesser space for crops, reduces transportation cost, the food grows organically, and uses minimal water.

I see, its good for the entire environment in the long run.

Though vertical farms can never be expected to replace traditional farms, it is likely that they will have to complement each other to meet the food demands of tomorrow. It is economically sensible, environmentally friendly, tech savvy, and most importantly, health sensitive.

I am a little hesitant and I am sure that many people will not be interested in this idea, because many people who join the cyrpto will only make themselves more self-conscious and hope that they will benefit greatly. if the team is serious about running the project then I am sure it will all be achieved

I liked the project  idea, I have never seen anything like it before. How many vertical farms do you plan to build? What vegetables and fruits will grow on them?

We definitely respect your thoughts and thank you for sharing. VFarm believes that a community-driven ecosystem that fosters entrepreneurship, fuelled by high quality content and rewards and hosted on a blockchain- based platform is the solution. Our team is indeed committed to deliver our values and change the agriculture industry for the better.

Agree, but how can you give suggestion because now the most farmer doesn't bother about the technology because they need sufficient water to harvest the farms. Now you are telling blockchain-based platform for solutions and still, the governments have not chosen the blockchain ecosystem for farming.

This is not the case this year but last year also happened with this for some people who don't really care about what is happening or is being developed that is beneficial to many people. They only want to get a little gift from what has been determined.

Thanks for the reply, it is very interesting. I met a lot of blockchain projects related to agriculture and they were not successful. What will be the practical use of your token?

This is correct! Just got an update from the team regarding this and we will definitely share pictures or any content we can get. :)

When do we receive tokens from sale?

VFarm (VFT) tokens will be issued immediately at the end of each stage of crowdswap.

Good sign of a determined project by attending events and showing the panel the value of how VFarm will change the world for the better.

Thank you! Our team is definitely committed in making this project happen and we're glad to have you all in this ride!

Planning of doing an AMA anytime soon?

Thank you for the suggestion. We'd update the community if the team decides to do one

Yeah, I think they would be open to do one. So far, they're accommodating to all of our requests such as pictures from their POC, etc.

Of course, we're always listening to feedback from the community and we're all committed to satisfying everyone!  ;D

Will this be in the Ethereum platform or others such as Go, etc?

the project is good in agriculture, because I see there are only a few projects in agriculture.

there are not many agriculture-based projects related to cryptocurrencies so it will probably be successful as it is a sector where there is not much competition

a very good idea in the mission of this project, and the developers of this project, not a team carelessly. they are very insightful and their partners are very good at supporting these projects. a great idea sir

Thank you for believing in the project and the team. We really appreciate the support from the community. The team will repay your support with hard work and dedication.

Why use tokenswap in terms of gathering funds for the project?

Good question. Our aim for VFarm is to enable easy and fast access to create and services while providing users with the power to create social impact through their choice of actions.

What are the major components of the VFarm App?

Here are the four major components of the VFarm Platform
•VFarm Modular User Interface Engine
•VFarm Applications Layer
•VFarm Payment Management Layer
•VFarm Agro Traceability Blockchain
(More detailed breakdown of each on the whitepaper)

I highly believe that what you guys are doing is the future. Vertical farming provides more crop space to urban farmers and in result, they will have more crops to yield = better sales.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and these are all true. VFarm's idea of building vertically stacked farms on skyscrapers that produce crops twice as fast, while using 40% less power, having 80% less food waste, and using 99% less water than outdoor fields is definitely the way to conserve energy and help the environment at the same time.

So for the payment side. Will you have your own wallet or partner with existing ones?

VFarm will have its own wallet that will be used inside the VFarm platform.

Yes, women empowerment! Gender equality is a big issue and its nice to see your project going at it.

Of course! VFarm is empowering women to be part of the urban farmer’s community. Meet our very first urban farmer, Candice Chin. As a holder of a Bachelor Degree in Agricultural Science, she is passionate about exploring ways and technologies to produce affordable high-quality crops.

Nice to see updates. Hopefully it continues throughout

There will be more exciting updates and announcements. So be sure to stay tuned.

Is this project actually backed by science?

Yes! VFarm system is a proven, research-backed farming technology licensed by Agrosky Sdn. Bhd (ASSB), a vertical farming specialist.

I admire you guys for your mission and positive goal. Helping the unemployed is amazing

Definitely, we're concentrating on issues in the urban areas around the world and that's definitely a part of it.

Can you tell me more about what hydrophonics will vfarm employ???

The hydrophonics system is a key part of vertical farming. VFarm specifically uses the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) where plants are grown in a soilless solution that is recycled from a reservoir. This provides hydration (water), oxygen and nutrients, which are normally found in soil, and are required for roots. Since in vertical farms the roots are uncovered and exposed to more oxygen, the crops will be able to grow at a faster rate.

When will your next event be asides from the pictures you shared where you guys were in the stage?

Happy you asked. We are going to present our papers in the 68th United Nations Civil Society Conference, at Salt Lake City, on 26th - 28th August 2019.

Does this project have seminar plans on crypto for several countries?
I am looking forward to that

What do you mean by seminar plans?

Maybe what he means was attending crypto events on other countries or hosting a meet-up somewhere.

Nothing official yet asides from our next one which is on Utah this coming August.

Can you tell me what is the plan for ICO? What is the timeline, do you have IEO or just ICO..How you already raise some funds?

That is fantastic. I think this project should have more attention in the crypto world. We shouldn't only make the blockchain technology applied in the virtual world. It should be practically done. All the best. In case you need an ambassador/admin support for your project, kindly let me know.

There are no announcements for IEO's/ICO's yet but we'll keep you in the loop for any updates. For now, you can register here for our tokensales:
https://seed.vfarm.global/register

Where will you be putting your second farm?

No specifics yet but our first one was in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur in May 2019.

Do you have any specific images about your farm Setup because it will help the community to keep whether it is located exactly? Most of the community members need reality which will show more potential during the IEO time. 

Here are a few pictures from our already built farm.

https://i.postimg.cc/yJcC5RxW/v7.jpg (https://postimg.cc/yJcC5RxW)  https://i.postimg.cc/14JhLsm0/v8.jpg (https://postimg.cc/14JhLsm0) https://i.postimg.cc/wygZGbnb/v9.jpg (https://postimg.cc/wygZGbnb) https://i.postimg.cc/8J49QmSk/v10.jpg (https://postimg.cc/8J49QmSk) https://i.postimg.cc/G936PVF4/v11.jpg (https://postimg.cc/G936PVF4)

We will be releasing more media content as the project moves along so be sure to stay tuned.

These are great though a video walk through the farm would be better as it would show the scale of the operation

Thank you for the suggestion. A video of some sorts is already in the works  ;D

How will you take advantage of the blockchain technology with VFarm?

By utilising blockchain, VFarm aims to improvise the landscape of food production and security within our urban community via agriculture and social enterprise.

VFARM is very innovaive project.i wishing this project is very great success and this project future is Bright.

That's awesome and we appreciate the support!

Sounds revolutionary. Does it allow me to play farmville on the chain?

Can you elaborate on that? :) I don't quite get what you mean?

Are there plans to list on exchange? Binance perhaps?

No plans for the time being. We'll update the community as the project moves along.

How much of the tokens are available in the ico?

40% of our 375,000,000 token supply are allocated for the fundraising.

How many is 40%?

That would be 150m VFT Tokens

Saw your latest post in instagram about your farm being visited by a big company in Singapore. That's good!

Definitely. Its our pleasure to meet UBS' director and the session we had with her was amazing and fruitful!

Can you also share them here? Am not an instagram person.

Today we are deeply honoured to receive Eusnie Arshad, Director of @ubs Singapore. Thank you for coming all the way from SG to our humble base in Kuala Lumpur.

Your kind and meaningful sharing session have truly inspired our team.

We look forward to work together in near future! #vfarm #vfarmglobal #weareurbanfarmers #ubs #investment #supportyourlocalfarmers #womenempowerment

Good exposure overall, its great to see other companies seeing the value that you guys are bringing in. Where is this first farm of yours made?

It's in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur. Made last May of this year.

We need more updates like these. It's good that the team is working hard in the background. A public event appearance would also be great.

Events are indeed a great way to spread the word to the masses. We'll definitely update the community if the team decides to attend one

Where is your business model based at?

Our economic model is based upon Social Enterprise (SE) in line with The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). It is the future of development because it is able to solve some of the development problems that neither donors nor government have been able to solve and therefore need to harness all of the energy present at the Base of Population.

So what's the current market for this>??

There is a pressing and urgent need to provide these increased masses with sustainable food. The technology that provides an answer to this problem will be at the epicentre of a USD$317 billion agricultural revolution.

Today the team visited United Nation Malaysia office to present our project, and the feedback was great. We look forward for near future collaboration 🌱

Heard from your group that you went to United nations? That's a great way to get the word out and share the value of VFarm.

Yes, the pictures are above and we're looking forward to attending more events. Next stop is Utah with the United Nations again.

Nice to see the team is going out there to pitch the project to well known names. Keep it up, you are in the right track to success!!

It is a collective effort. The team is just doing what it's supposed to be doing  ;D More exciting updates to come as the project moves along.

This is awesome news for the supporters as a whole. Its big exposure and a partnership with the United Nations will really be big for the project. Every country has that and its important for us to explain to them the value that the project brings in.

Totally! We are definitely moving in the right direction and it is indeed good to show the world how vertical farming can be the future.

Do you plan to do IEO on LATOKEN? because I see this there https://latoken.com/ico/ETH-VFarm if it's true, why did you choose LATOKEN? why not a bigger exchange?

I think the link is false as it shows another token when you open it.

Yes, it was not the VFT. Which exchanges are you planning to get listed on anyways? LAToken was still good.

I can recognize only Iskandar Zaffa. Who is this woman and other guys ?

Your link leads only to project overview/ieo card. I suppose this was created automatically by Latoken. If they gets a lot of interest from users, maybe they will contact Vfarm by them self and offer listing or IEO.

Btw, listing on Latoken will be way cheaper than listing on other "bigger exchange". Why not start with something small. I dont think that Vfarm has enough funds to allow listing on Binance or OKEx.

Thank you for the suggestion. We'll contact them if the team decides to list the token there.

How does the LED lights help the plants inside your POC Farms?

The LED light gives out the light of different wavelengths that target different types of chlorophyll. That right there increases the amount of sunlight absorbed, therefore making photosynthesis very efficient, thus assisting in achieving the primary goal of vertical farming which is to produce more food per square meter.

How much token will be sold during this sale?

 40% of VFarm (VFT) tokens will be swapped for ETH or BTC to fund the development & operations

This is very good news for the entire VFarm community. Malaysia is a promising region for the development of vertical agriculture and I think large investors will be interested in supporting this project.

I hope this all goes well and it is not wrong to choose a country like Malaysia, I hope that this cooperation will mutually benefit and help each other to achieve one goal, namely success, because if it does not achieve success then all will be in vain and it will certainly make many people feel even more disappointed

Thank you for believing in the project. The team is hard at work to make this project a success for everyone involved.

Will the token be required for transportation service?

The VFarm token is required for transport service providers to write their logistics data onto the VFarm Agro Traceability Blockchain. That data comes from the transport app API data.

What's next for the project??

Aside from the timeline set in our roadmap. We will pitch the project to UN sustainable cities conference and in UN general assembly.

Will it be possible to mine the token for VFT?

No, the VFT token is not mineable.

Can you give the breakdown of how the raised funds will be used?

Here they are:
•40% of contributions will used for deployment of the VFarm System in Kuala Lumpur.
•31.5% will be used for the Agro Traceability Blockchain development.
•11.5% will be used for IoT Systems R&D.
•8.5% will be used for Irrigation Systems R&D.
•8.5% will go towards site rental cost.

Greetings VFarm community 👋

We are proud to announce that VFarm has been invited to be part of a roundtable discussion during the 68th United Nations Civil Society Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you are planning to attend the conference, come and say hi to our team!

https://i.postimg.cc/PJLhftdf/y1.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

This will be a great exposure for the project. Great job

Agree. United Nations can play a big role for VFarm's success.

True. And if countries see the potential, this could become a worldwide thing. I mean there's always a constant need for food

Hoping 3rd world countries who have a food problem have a look at this. Efficient farming will be a god send to them

VFarm has plans to go global eventually, it's only a matter of time.

Are there restrictions in place restricting certain residents of a country to participate on your fund raising?

Yes. Residents of Malaysia, Singapore and United States of America are restricted to participate.

How about digital currencies that you will accept in the fundraising?

No fiat currency is accepted. Only ETH, BTC, Ripple and LTC.

Planning on doing the  sale on an exchange for easier processing?

There are no such plans at the moment.

I think blockchain will really be utilized by this project because people can track where their food is coming from and if it's safe.

Vfarm will also enables ecosystem users to not only have total traceability of the produce on food safety but also drive social impact via informed choices on their purchases.

Do you have a proof of concept for this or is this project just all idea atm??

VFarm has commenced the build on the first farm in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur in May 2019, and is expected to yield the first batch of crops by the end of August 2019. The first farm is designed to produce 20 tonnes of crops monthly which will be marketed through contract farming.

I see, looking forward to an announcement/update once you guys get the first batch of crops this month. That's where we can see if vertical farming is effective or not.

Contract farming? How does that work

Contract farming is a mode of procurement over a period of time for specified types of vegetables. It is usually entered with hoteliers / convention centre. Hope this explains

Glad to see that the project fixed (other speaking - put reference link to content origin) their whitepaper.
Good luck with your project.

It was an oversight on our part. We really appreciate the community pointing that out   :)

Why is it such a big deal for the community if a small part of the whitepaper was copied somewhere?

We totally understand the community in regards to that but again, we appreciate it being brought forward to our attention.

With all of those being said, I want to ask who would be the ecosystem participants? and with all the necessities needed to implement vertical farming on the blockchain, it ain't automating every activities easier, it just adds up the labor and luxury just to integrate with the technology. How VFarm helps people with the use of blockchain? It's confusing coz a farmer now need to know all about IoT than to just farm on his own.

VFT is a fully ERC20 compliant token

saw one of your harvest in your instagram. it really looks good and healthy, seems like vertical farming is really the future.

Glad you liked it! It's a Japanese Kale + Butterhead Lettuce that directly came from our POC Farm.

It's nice to see constant update from the team. Keep up the great work.

There will be more exciting updates and announcements to come, so be sure to stay tuned. Updates also keeps the community engaged.  :)

Any updates about your IEO? I remember some of the community members here asking here and I just wanna check

Nice to see the team active in attending relevant events. Keep it up

Goodluck guys! I hope we can something out of this event, good exposure overall though.

Thanks for the support! We will be sharing more progress in the event as we go along.

Are you going to post photos/videos for the upcoming harvest?
August is almost over so I think you are about to do the harvesting here.
And are you going to test your technology on this first harvest to assess what things need to be done or what possible problems you might encounter in the implementation phase?

As far as I know, it's not that easy to get listed on exchanges. Any plans for that guys?

Exchange listing will be down the line. We'll update the community as the project moves along.

This has been a really productive event for the team.

This team has been one of the most active in terms of participating in events, goes to show how dedicated they are into making it successful.

Thank you for your kind words, our team is very dedicated into providing the world a better place with VFarm.

Hard work pays off. So keep it up. This active approach brings you a level higher to other project who are solely dependent on their idea to bring in the people.

Definitely and good to hear that you see the direction that we're getting into.

A recap of the event would be great.

Thank you for the suggestion. A number of people are asking for a recap of the UNSC event.

Are you guys active on Telegram? What's your channel link?

Yes, we are 24/7! Here's the link to our Telegram group: https://t.me/Vfarmofficial

Why no Medium channel yet? It's a great platform for articles

It's still in the works. We'll update the community once its up  :)

Medium is a very important part if you're trying to start something. Especially that you're trying to raise awareness and funds.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, all your suggestions matter and we're taking it all into consideration.

Bounty continuing this month??

We can't say for sure just yet. Stay tuned for that.

When will you expand to other markets like London.

We will be beginning that, specifically in London by Q1 of 2020.

Why pause in the first place?

We'll provide a detailed update for the community as the project moves along.
