# Executive Summary

> A concise proof page for Kokonut Network's first live syntropic farm: founders, land, crops, revenue forecast, MRV stack, SDG alignment, and live data.

# Adelphi is the proof that Kokonut works on real land.

Adelphi is Kokonut Network's first live syntropic farm — a women-led, community-first agricultural project in Gonzalo, Sabana Grande de Boyá, Monte Plata, Dominican Republic.

It is not a concept deck, prototype, or future promise. It is a working farm with land, founders, crops, infrastructure, revenue forecasts, public goods funding, MRV monitoring, and live data available through the Kokonut Hub.

## Why Adelphi matters

Adelphi demonstrates all four parts of the Kokonut model at once:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="DAO-funded capital deployment" icon="coins" href="/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/dao-layers">
    Public goods funding helped deploy critical farm infrastructure without turning Adelphi into a corporate extraction project.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Framework-standardized operations" icon="puzzle" href="/kokonut-framework/Introduction">
    The farm runs through the Kokonut Framework: planning, soil preparation, production, regeneration, MRV, impact reporting, and expansion.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Public MRV and attestations" icon="satellite" href="/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/measurement-reporting-and-verification">
    Satellite imagery, soil probes, field logs, per-plant GPS, IPFS records, and EAS attestations turn farm activity into public evidence.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Community-first regenerative production" icon="people-group" href="/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/sustainable-development-goals">
    Adelphi combines organic food production, local employment, biodiversity conservation, women-led leadership, and public goods allocation.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Adelphi is the credibility bridge between Kokonut's thesis and Kokonut's reality. If the global problem is underfunded regenerative agriculture, Adelphi is the first working proof that the DAO + Framework + MRV model can close that gap.

## The founders

<Card title="Yanny & Neury Hernández — sisters, single mothers, farmers" icon="seedling">
  Yanny and Neury grew up in a farming family, spending childhood vacations at their grandparents' countryside home in the Dominican Republic. Although they built careers in the city — Yanny in pharmaceuticals, Neury as a professional manicurist — their connection to the land never faded.

  Two years ago, they took a bold step: they purchased land in Monte Plata with the intention to farm it, only to discover that financing cultivation was the hardest part. Adelphi was born from that gap — a project designed not only to secure their future, but to benefit the surrounding community through organic production, biodiversity education, and a gathering space for children, elders, and neighbors who want to reconnect with the land.

## How Adelphi works

Adelphi uses a three-cycle syntropic production model. Short-cycle vegetables create near-term cash flow, medium-cycle fruits add seasonal income, and long-cycle coconut trees build the perennial asset base that connects the farm back to Kokonut's tree-backed governance model.

## Revenue projection at a glance

Adelphi's three-cycle crop model generates revenue across different timeframes. Actual performance is tracked in the [Live Data Hub](https://hub.kokonut.network/projects/41), while projections are calculated through the [Crops & Harvest Forecast](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/crops-and-harvest-forecast) methodology.

| **Crop / stream**   | **Cycle**                         | **Annual production**                     | **Est. annual revenue**   |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Lettuce             | Short — 30–75 days, 5 harvests/yr | 48,450 units across 10 plots              | \$133,237.50              |
| Passion fruit       | Medium — annual                   | 47,600 fruits · 3,661 nets across 8 plots | \$11,019.00               |
| Coconut             | Long — perennial                  | 6,144 coconuts across 8 plots             | \$4,853.76                |
| Poultry eggs        | Continuous                        | \~36,500 eggs/yr                          | Additional revenue stream |
| **Total projected** |                                   |                                           | **\~\$149,110.26 / yr**   |

<Note>
  The forecast uses conservative planning assumptions, including a 15% crop loss rate and 5 lettuce harvests per year. Actual yields, losses, harvest records, and impact metrics should be checked against the Data Hub.
</Note>

<Info>
  10% of gross revenue — approximately \$14,911 per year at forecasted performance — is allocated to public goods activities under the Kokonut Common Data Schema.

## What Adelphi proves

Adelphi exists to prove that Kokonut's model can turn undercapitalized land into a regenerative, community-owned, publicly verifiable production system.
