Food shortages are escalating worldwide
Without the industrial production and distribution of food, today's cities could not exist. Mass urbanization is in many respects built on industrial agriculture. Unfortunately, the areas surrounding the world's megacities do not grow enough food to feed those cities. However, locally sourced produce and urban vegetable gardens can teach city dwellers about agriculture and food production can increase understanding of the need to protect farm land and to pay attention to the foods that make up our daily diet.
​
The most promising of all such arrangements is what is known today as vertical farming. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farms can be constructed anywhere, even on water, using upward layers to multiple output capacity. This space utilization is limited mostly to architectural possibility. Likewise, the plants grown can be on-demand in many ways since regional restrictions have been lifted so these farms can grow virtually anything.
Investment Opportunity
Seaweed ripe for international expansion
Farming seaweed has the potential to be an effective strategy for combatting food shortages for humans and animals worldwide. Since two-thirds of the earth's surface is water and many countries border oceans, there's a potential that this method could be put into practice across the globe, amplifying its effectiveness. The only thing we lack is a market to support producers.

Advisory
Catalyzing green growth through agriculture
We now face a critical challenge in providing safe, wholesome food while minimizing the harm that we do to the environment and guaranteeing food security. To overcome these obstacles the industry needs a more effective way to deliver produce outside the Futures indices that price-out small farmers.
​
Establishing a Farmers Market for small producers driven by non-fungible tokens in the United States is one of Point Five Ventures' primary tasks. Small Farmer Markets (SFMs) refer to cooperative, stakeholder-driven producers for jointly developing new goods and services that facilitate the shift to sustainable food systems and a fairer pricing system.
​​
SFMs can focus on a range of objectives and bring together public and private stakeholders, including food manufacturers, farmers and retailers, consumers, investors, and local and national agencies to develop and promote smaller rural and urban farming enterprises.
