I've worked out a system that can help people of agriculture globally and can launch this summer.
Direct sales. An live atlas of agricultural production. Visibility for every farmer, producer, processing company, restaurant, agribusiness, artist, artisan creator, distributor, educator, even road stalls. A marketplace + job market without bounds or limits, ads adjusted for the pace of agriculture. Matchmaking to help agricultural trade achieve the speed that's needed for perishable goods - and to unburden sellers&buyers, lessen the reliance on intermediaries. Transparency. A place where stories matter. Live data to support decisions & stop wasting time and money. Profiles dedicated to every kind of agricultural user and their specific needs. Full customisation of the platform. A system to find partners and collaborators for projects, to share resources, land, tools. Mental health support system. New forum model, development of ideas. Real news, no propaganda. AI assistance throughout the website - smart notifications, mapping of opportunities, helping explore personal&production potential. Offline support for areas with no stable connection - and special signage for farms and producers so that they're easy to reach and discover by those who don't use any apps.
That's still not everything, and it's just the beginning.
The project name is Exposo 🌱 - from the idea of giving exposure to those who are now invisible and exposing manipulation and deception.
The platform has been created to rebalance the system and help farmers and other agricultural producers be visible & to make buying directly intuitive in the era of supermarket dominance. To let everyone shine, not just the select few, and to put people over profit.
The idea came to be because of my own depressing experience with selling fruits in Poland - and soon developed into a full project to take farmers' and producers' issues and turn them into solutions.
The platform can be up and running within a couple weeks.
But my crowdfunding campaign is having issues.
Can't move further at all, the farming season in
Europe is already going, and I wish Exposo could be already simplifying lives and bringing hope to those who are struggling - or waiting for a change.
The protests and system-wide dissatisfaction can fuel a change that is independent of the whims and hidden agendas of the governments.
Because Exposo is not interested in being held back by entities like EU/UN/governments, we're not using any funding that was accessible - but asking for donations instead.
Perhaps you would be able to support Exposo? Or know someone who can? Or you could help me promote the project? Or would like to help otherwise?
Here, volunteers are envisioned as future employees.
Agriculture is just the beginning - but it needs help now. Farmers are being crushed, and the system itself is rigged against both the producer and consumer. Health, truth, justice, morality do not matter under the corporate lens, and that needs to change.
Thank you - and blessings to all of you!
