We have released an updated version of the Smart Contract!
We needed this because the previous version was not convenient enough to work with the number of requests we faced.
Many members of the community specify or change the addresses to assign tokens just after filling the contract, which constantly required making changes.
Now, with the new contract we can react to the requests of our clients quickly and efficiently.

Two new features were also added to the contract:
1) Variable description which stores important information about contract which can always be checked out.
2) Function balancesAddressDescriptionUpdate() which allows every account owner to specify any information about him or her. This information can be seen in the variable balancesAddressDescription (address is used as a parameter)

We remind that after launching our own cryptocurrency, we plan to allow account owners to specify text descriptions which will be shown automatically in the users’ accounts.

5 technological innovations that are revolutionizing Indian agriculture

Farming is essential for life maintenance, but nobody thinks that agriculture is a reason for modern technologies to develop. Agriculture seems to be a traditional sphere, but today we can say proudly that the future is in the farming.

Farming in India demonstrates perfect examples of technological innovations. In this text we are going to show 5 of them.

Skymet is the largest company in India dedicated to forecasting the weather and providing tools for risk management. Their website allows to check weather conditions in specific villages and help farmers to prepare for bad weather conditions such as excessive rains, and thus to reduce losses.

Ekgaon is an IT network integrator that provides services to aid farmers such as financial, agricultural and civil assistance.

- Financial help is provided by a mobile app that helps to find financial organizations which deliver services such as credit, insurance, investment and savings.

- Web technology and interactive voice responsive system offers help in finding information about weather, market prices and goods, soil nutrition and crop management.

- Through web and mobile applications, the citizens can use government programs and services.

Aquaculture lacks of good technologies for measuring and controlling the water conditions. The technologies of Eruvaka help to implement technologies in aquaculture to measure and control water conditions. Eruvaka organization developed solar powered buoys that measure water parameters (oxygen level, temprature, pH) that are crucial for the health of fishes and shrimps. The measureв data is then uploaded to the cloud platform and delivered to the customers via app, SMS, voice call or internet.

BIOSAT is a soil addition based on biochar which increases soil fertility, reduces carbon emission and strengthen the topsoil, thus reducing the need to use of chemical fertilizers.

Barrix Ago Sciences, a startup based in Bangalore, has developed technologies that help to fight pests without using chemical pesticides.

Barrix Catch Fruit and Fly Lure traps use pheromones to attract pests to the trap.

Recyclable fly pest sticky sheets also helps to attract 19 types of pests from a long distance.

The last innovation that is now gaining traction in India – and we are sure you have heard of it – is 1000Ecofarms platform which unites farmers, food produces and customers within a marketplace. It helps to save money and tailor marketing and sales. 1000Ecofarms is currently going through updates, and developing into a blockchain ecosystem with its own payment and marketing instruments, useful for every farmer.

If you still haven’t registered in this project, you can use our site for that and join our communities in social networks.

Healthy Trends: Demand Trends of the Organic Products

The world is constantly changing. Those things which used to seem a keenness of a small group of people, today have all the chances to become a worldwide trend.
Fortunately, it is not about unhealthy diet obsessions or pursuing blindly the fashion, and we take incredible delight to see trends which positively influence to our health and life. The most significant one is the worldwide expansion of the organic production, which is very noticeable recently.
Poor quality products may cause more than two hundred diseases, from the digestive system failure to oncology. According to the assessment of the World Health Organization, 600 million of people become ill due to bad quality of food every year.
The organic food is produced without food additives, colorants, GMO, synthetic agricultural chemicals, growth hormones, or antibiotics. Organic agriculture is the most proven and reliable way to get healthy and delicious products without any environmental damage. The organic farmers treat the environment, animals, and the most important – the health of those who consume their products, most responsibly.
The demand on the organic products is not going to decline. USA Today reported in July that the sales of the organic food products increased by 8.4% compared with the previous year, hitting the record level of $43 billion in 2016. According to the recent TechSci Research estimates, it is anticipated that the global organic food market will increase with the rate of 14% or more between 2016 and 2021. The recent survey of OTA confirms this opinion because the organic sector demonstrated rising trend again.
It was noted during the September survey of Organic Trade Association that the millennials are the most common buyers of the organic food. This fact also proves the stability of the trend: The estimates say that 80% of those who belong to this group are going to have children in the next 15 years.
However, despite of the stable growth of the organic food consumption and production rates, not all types of products can fit the existing logistics and retail system successfully: The products without conservants get spoiled faster, and cannot travel across long distances. The main ways for them to reach the customers are the specialized shops and direct sales. FoodCoin Ecosystem offers the most convenient, safe and inexpensive way to buy natural products – directly from the seller. As the organic products consumption grows, our audience which prefer the healthy food and beneficial FoodCoin Ecosystem, also does it.

Why TGE is delayed

Dear members,
The last few days we've been receiving concerns about delays of the TGE.
The requirements for TGE are more and more strict. We have to comply with these requirements to avoid risks related to the regulators. We plan to do it during the next 3-4 weeks. Until this time FoodCoin will be ready to carry out the TGE as a Swiss company, according to the Swiss legislation. We plan to add the availability to accept fiat to purchase our coins. Please note that you will need to go through a standard KYC/AML process in order to buy tokens. KYC/AML is a standard identification procedure to verify that the client is not related to money laundering or financing terrorist organizations.
Another thing is unfortunately that the US citizens will be excluded from participating in the TGE. However,  you will still be able to use your tokens for purchases and exchange right after the TGE.
The detaled information about TGE dates and conditions will be provided this week.
(KYC - Know Your Client
AML - Anti Money Laundering)

No sense of innovation in the name of this coin, it may be coin itself associated with food, landing feel difficult

[bitnautis]

What about pre sale token holders ?
When tokens will be transferable?
And is KYC needed in order to transfer tokens to wallet even for presales holders ?

The tokens will be transferable right after the TGE. KYC is necessary for buying tokens.

We had to rename it due to some exchange already have this name taken. 1 FOOD = 1/100 FoodCoin, so it's more convenient to calculate the product and food price

[Crypto vs Metals]

No sense of innovation in the name of this coin, it may be coin itself associated with food, landing feel difficult

No innovation? The 1000ecofarms / foodcoin duo is set up for massive success in the years to come! 1000ecofarms is the peer to peer local food economy platform (fucking innovative!), and foodcoin is an escrow token that will see massive demand as farmers can obtain access into cryptocurrency by selling their food. The first point of contact for millions will be FoodCoin.

It's supply is locked, and it's already has an engine to flush currency through buyers and sellers. It will likely become a savings account for many farmers who are seeing the USD plummet these next few years.

Plus, FoodCoin could also double down as an accounting service as it tracks all the transactions farmers currently write down as IOU's on paper!

Thanks Clif High for unlocking the massive potential of this coin to me very early.
