GM DePinners!
We have been reading some grim news about the conditions of Migrant Workers on farms across the world lately. It’s time to stop and smell the roses and take a moment to think about who is picking them.
The flowers we buy and the food we love to eat is coming from farms. Ever stop to think about who is behind all of those flowers you smell from your local florist? It sometimes isn’t the pretty picture you may imagine. We’re talking about farm workers who grind in the fields everyday under oftentimes brutal conditions. This is nothing new as the same articles appear annually, usually around harvest time.
At Morpheus, we truly believe that if you fix the Supply chain you fix the world and are dedicated to solving some of our most pressing issues, including providing more transparency in the global agricultural industry that has been rigged for so long.
Have a quick read of this article to see where we are coming from. This Indian worker, promised a better life in Italy, ends up in conditions that could be described as modern day slavery. It’s 2024, isn’t it time to change the narrative and yet here we are, reading the same tragic stories every year. There are solutions and we are here to pave the way.
Enter Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Transparency
You know how blockchain is all about transparency, decentralization, and trust? At Morpheus Network we take the role of blockchain seriously, applying those principles to the supply chain industry. We’re talking about tracking every single step of that rose until it gets to your bouquet. The diamond industry has stepped up significantly in recent years and it is time for every other product to leave a positive mark.
The lack of transparency across industries is what lets this exploitation run wild. But consumers are ready for a greener tomorrow and do not want to see any company hiding behind shady practices. With our blockchain solutions can know exactly where our products come from and who’s behind them.
Using blockchain and other advanced technologies we can encourage a fairer system, executing smart contracts that could mean workers getting paid more fairly, tracking of goods to better understand the conditions of farms and incentivising good farming practices.
The system is currently broken and band-aid solutions are not working. Blockchain offers something new, something powerful, something that could actually turn the tide.
So, next time you’re about to buy that bouquet for a loved one, think about the story behind it, who picked it and where it came from. The future of farming isn’t just about what we grow, it’s about how we grow it.
Let’s make sure it’s a future worth investing in. Stop and small the roses! #WAGMI
