🔄 How We Use the Funds

• 🔹 50% goes directly into farming activities (land prep, seeds, labor)

• 🔹 25% allocated to infrastructure (irrigation, storage)

• 🔹 25% reserved for logistics, admin, and contingency

Every dollar raised will be tracked, reported, and optimized to show early traction to future investors.
