Livingstone Greentec is a company that aims to use state-of-the-art horticulture and blockchain technologies to enable local, sustainable food production near cities. Their solution involves building "FoodHubs", which are high-tech glasshouses near urban areas for growing crops. An e-trading platform and blockchain would be used to connect FoodHubs to agricultural lands and provide traceability. Their goal is to improve quality of life, health, and protect the planet by increasing food production efficiency while reducing environmental impacts like water and energy usage.
