Our Story: Blockchain Meets One Health
FarmGrid is improving agriculture in Africa and promoting **One Health** using blockchain technology. We have accomplished numerous projects since our establishment, such as vaccinating farm animals, educating farmers and agro extension workers on antibiotic use and misuse.
The misuse of antibiotics and other drugs in livestock breeding has become a global concern, leading to the development of **antibiotic resistance** in humans. This poses a threat to human life, as unsuspecting consumers are exposed to complications.
The FarmGrid initiative was created to address this issue by educating farmers on the dangers of antibiotic misuse and alternative methods to ensure the survival of livestock. The initiative has recorded successful seminars, training, and partnerships with rural farmers to test its formulae.
