Meet [Jennifer](https://www.threefold.io/aci/people/jennifer_long/), the driving force behind the project.

## The BHAG

- Acquire or have access to +10 Billion m2 of land with as purpose to protect
- The land is a backing asset for the security token (not in all cases)
  - There will be cases where landowners only will allow us to use the land for certain purpose e.g. revenue share on carbon credits, ...
  - So in that case we would not own the land, but can collaborate to provide protection & farm at least carbon credits
- The land has multiple purposes
  - the land protects area's which need protection
  - the land harvest carbon credits
  - the land sometimes can be used by conscious communities (free) who then have to bring added value to the land & protect as well
  - the land sometimes can be used to organic farming in form of "food forests"
- The project is a non for profit initiative !!!

## Business model

- the land is backing for security token,  provides security
- the land grows food (sometimes)
- the land farms carbon credits (always)
- the income of the food/carbon credits are used to acquire more land -> this leads to appreciation of the land tokens
- 10% of incoming proceeds -> for operations of the structure.

## History

- we started the project a while ago, and most has been prepared.
- after initial funding we can go ahead and organize our first security token offering.
- today +700.000.000 m2 land visible to be part of project (as collaboration for carbon credits) and +10m land for owning.

## The current plan

- 500k initial funding (funding needed to conclude on security token offering)
- organize security token offering (first for accredited investors only)
- get [a reg A certificate](https://www.sec.gov/smallbusiness/exemptofferings/rega), to allow public offering to everyone
- organize an fundraise together with some partners (aligned, costs +-200k USD).
- first fundirase 20-100m USD.

## Structure

- company not setup yet
- multiple locations have been evaluated for the holding structures, this will be executed once the first 500k funding is available.
- 100% of the uderlying structures will be owned by ACI, in the spirit of non for profit.
