💡 Core Concepts

Understand the fundamental ideas behind CrowdFarming.

Projects

Agricultural projects are the core unit of investment. Each project has a location, timeline, budget, and milestones.

Milestones

Projects are broken down into trackable milestones: land preparation, planting, irrigation, and harvest.

Investments

Investors can fund specific milestones, track progress, and receive returns based on project success.

Transparency

All project data, budgets, and progress are publicly accessible to ensure trust and accountability.
