Build a Regenerative Farm That Funds Itself, Proves Its Impact, and Scales
The open-source framework behind Kokonut Adelphi — a live, DAO-funded syntropic farm in the Dominican Republic — was built so any ReFi community, cooperative, or DAO can replicate it without starting from zero. 📞 Book a 20-minute call to talk about replication or partnership Most regenerative agriculture projects struggle with three problems: finding long-term funding, measuring real impact, and coordinating people effectively. Kokonut Network solves all three with an open-source framework that combines regenerative farming, cooperative ownership, AI-powered Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV), and Web3 governance. This playbook shows exactly how Kokonut transformed a family farm in the Dominican Republic into a living proof-of-impact ecosystem — and how any community can replicate the model.What You’ll Learn
After reading this playbook, you’ll understand how to:- ✅ launch a regenerative agriculture cooperative
- ✅ Organize contributors through DAO governance
- ✅ finance farms without depending entirely on grants
- ✅ measure ecological and financial impact
- ✅ build transparent MRV systems
- ✅ attract funders using verifiable data instead of promises

🌟 TLDR
Kokonut Network is a Dominican Republic–based regenerative agriculture cooperative that pairs a live, working syntropic farm — Kokonut Adelphi, 15,725 m² in Gonzalo, Sabana Grande de Boyá, Monte Plata (source: Adelphi Executive Summary) — with a full Web3 coordination stack: a Moloch-style DAO on Gnosis Chain for governance and treasury, a Common Data Schema and on-chain MRV pipeline (soil probes, satellite indices, IPFS, and EAS attestations on Celo) for verification, and Kokonut Intelligence — an open-source PostgreSQL/PostGIS, ClickHouse, Directus, and AI-agent data layer — for scoring and decision support. The Kokonut Framework’s four phases (Planning & Preparation, Production & Regeneration, Consolidation & Expansion, Continuous Operations) give any community a repeatable path from raw land to a funded, verified, revenue-generating regenerative farm, with Adelphi as the live proof: 96 coconut trees, 560 passion fruit vines, 110 free-range hens, 7 jobs created, and a $149,110/year revenue forecast, 40% of which routes to a public-goods fund.| Traditional NGO | Typical ReFi Project | Kokonut |
