Scaling Sustainable Living: the First Web3 Smart Village in Europe
In previous episodes, we’ve covered the topic of regenerative living. Whilst sustainability focuses on sustaining Mother Earth, regenerative living goes one step beyond that and focuses on restoring it. Across the globe enthusiasts and change-makers are building so-called Smart Villages, or eco-villages, based on these regenerative principles that restore our planet. OASA is a non-profit focusing on innovating and building these Smart Villages at scale. They are currently building a regenerative farm outside Lisbon called Traditional Dream Factory. To fuel further investments and enable governance at scale, they’ve just launched Europe’s first land-based conservation token. The project is ground-breaking as this is the first time in Europe a regenerative village has issued a token with legal status giving token holders access to real-world assets. (compared to a virtual asset in the digital world). With the launch, OASA hopes to lead the way and inspire more enthusiasts to take action and join them on the quest to restore Mother Earth through regenerative living. In the episode, you’ll learn: What is ‘DAO’ (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation) What regenerative living means What web3 is and how tokens can be used in the real world How the first land-based legal token works How the legal setup could be replicated to scale regenerative living
