🍓 Agentic Strawberry Tower ## TL;DR - **What:** Build a fully autonomous strawberry-growing system — a single aeroponic tower paired with a 6-DOF robot arm that uses 3D depth vision to detect, evaluate, and harvest ripe berries on its own. - **Why FoodNouns:** Food sovereignty is a CC0 problem. We're documenting and open-sourcing every part of the build — code, hardware list, training data, and a CC0 video — so anyone, anywhere can replicate it. - **Deliverables:** Open-source codebase (MIT), full build documentation, CC0 video documentation of the system from seed to harvest, and a public dataset of strawberry ripeness imagery. - **Ask:** ~$4,000 USD (paid in ETH) for hardware. Builder time is donated. - **Timeline:** 6 months from funding to first autonomous harvest, with documentation released as we go. --- ## The vision A strawberry costs about $0.50 at the grocery store and travels an average of 1,500 miles to get to you. The plant that grew it never knew you existed. The person who picked it was probably underpaid. What if a strawberry plant lived in your kitchen, and a small robot harvested berries for you the moment they were ripe? This proposal funds the smallest possible working version of that future, and gives away every piece of it under open licenses so the next person doesn't have to start from scratch. ## What gets built A single self-contained unit comprising: - **Aeroponic growing tower** — ~30-plant capacity, vertical, soilless. Tower farming uses ~95% less water than soil and grows faster. - **Yahboom DOFBOT-Pro robotic arm** with NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Super (16GB, 157 TOPS) onboard compute and an Orbbec 3D depth camera on the end effector. This is the same class of hardware used in industrial agritech — running on a desktop, for under $2k. - **Vision + control stack** — ripeness detection model (custom-trained on the in-house dataset we'll generate), 3D localization via depth camera, and motion planning through MoveIt. - **Scissor-and-catch end effector** — a custom replacement for the stock gripper that snips the stem (the way human pickers actually do it) and drops the berry into a small funnel-and-basket assembly mounted under the cut zone. No bruising, no squeeze pressure, no failure-prone soft grip. - **Grow environment** — full-spectrum LED lighting on a timer, nutrient reservoir with pH/EC monitoring, ambient camera for time-lapse and remote check-ins. - **A public log** of the entire build, every failure, every iteration. ## Why this matters for FoodNouns The bottleneck on distributed urban food production isn't really "can we grow it" anymore. Vertical and aeroponic systems have been figured out. The harder question is whether the labor can be automated cheaply enough that a school, a building, a neighborhood, or a household can actually run one of these without a full-time gardener. The hardware to do that just became affordable in the last 18 months — and as far as I can tell, nobody has published a working CC0 recipe for putting it all together. Strawberries are a good starting fruit for this kind of pilot. They're valuable enough that automating the picking is worth doing, they bruise easily so the gripping problem is actually interesting, they ripen continuously which means the robot has ongoing real work, and they photograph beautifully — which matters when half the deliverable is video documentation. The whole stack is also genuinely replicable. Tower from Amazon. Robot arm from Amazon. Jetson from Amazon. No custom fabrication, no patented components, no proprietary anything. If this works, the bill of materials and the code repo are enough for someone else to build the same thing in their garage. That's the FoodNouns angle: not a one-off demo at one farm, but a recipe that travels. ## Deliverables By end of pilot: 1. **Working autonomous system** harvesting strawberries from a single tower at the proposer's workshop, documented on video. 2. **Open-source repository** (MIT-licensed) containing: - Ripeness detection model + weights - 3D localization and pick-planning code - Arm control / MoveIt configs - Grow environment monitoring scripts 3. **Build documentation** (CC0): bill of materials with links, assembly photos, wiring diagrams, lessons learned, things that broke and how we fixed them. 4. **Public ripeness dataset** (CC0): annotated images of strawberries at various ripeness stages from the tower, usable by anyone training their own model. 5. **CC0 video documentation**: a polished short film of the system from seed to harvest, plus the raw footage and time-lapse archive, all public domain. ## Budget | Item | Estimated Cost | |---|---| | Yahboom DOFBOT-Pro (Orin NX Super 16GB, depth cam, display, voice module) | $1,880 | | Aeroponic tower (~30 sites) + reservoir + pump | $400 | | Strawberry starts (~30 everbearing plants) | $150 | | Nutrients, pH/EC meters, reservoir supplies | $200 | | Full-spectrum LED grow lights + timer | $350 | | Scissor end effector (servo, blades, 3D-printed mounts) + catch basket + funnel | $200 | | Arm mounting frame + tower positioning rig | $200 | | Cabling, networking, USB hub, spare SSD | $150 | | Time-lapse/documentation camera | $200 | | Contingency (10%) | $270 | | **Total** | **~$4,000** | Builder labor (design, build, model training, software, documentation, video production) is donated. Any overage beyond $4,000 is covered personally by the proposer — the DAO is only on the hook for the requested amount. ## Timeline | Month | Milestone | |---|---| | 1 | Hardware ordered + received. Aeroponic tower assembled and running with first strawberry starts. | | 2 | Robot arm assembled and calibrated. Initial dataset collection begins (manual photos of berries at all ripeness stages). | | 3 | First ripeness detection model trained and deployed on-device. 3D localization working from depth cam. | | 4 | First end-to-end autonomous pick (likely clumsy). Iteration on grip + planning. First plants producing ripe fruit on tower. | | 5 | Reliable autonomous harvest cycle. Time-lapse documentation in progress. Public dataset and code repo go live. | | 6 | Final CC0 video published. Full build documentation released. Final report to FoodNouns DAO. | All code and documentation is released **as it's developed**, not held until the end. The repo goes public at month 1. ## Who's building this Ian Schwartz, founder of City Farmers and operator of Wylie Advisory. Day-to-day work involves systems thinking across nonprofit consulting, urban farming infrastructure, and privately hosted AI systems for mission-driven organizations. This pilot lives at the intersection of all of that. The equipment lives at the proposer's workshop after the pilot concludes and continues to be used for ongoing development, with all future improvements likewise open-sourced. ## Risks and how we're handling them The most likely failure mode is the end effector itself. The plan is to replace the stock gripper with a scissor mechanism that snips the stem — the way human pickers actually do it — and a small funnel-and-basket assembly mounted directly below the cut zone to catch the berry as it falls. This sidesteps the soft-grip bruising problem entirely. The engineering question becomes "can we reliably locate the stem and cut it cleanly," which is a much more tractable problem than "can we gently squeeze ripe fruit without damaging it." If the first scissor design doesn't work, iteration is cheap — we're talking about a 3D-printable swap-out part, not redesigning the arm. Indoor strawberry growing is the second risk. Everbearing varieties under good lights generally fruit reliably, but if the first grow cycle underperforms we may need to extend by a month or two to get to autonomous harvest. The software and build work doesn't depend on the plants cooperating, so that work proceeds in parallel either way. Timeline slip in general is the third risk and the honest answer is: the deliverables are released as they're built, not bundled at the end. If the final video slips two months, the code, the dataset, and the build docs are already public. The DAO is never waiting on a single end-of-project handoff.

# # FOODNOUNS: + MakeWater.org World Water Day Video Collaboration # TL/DR # MakeWater proposes a short video vignette that highlights the important role water plays in food production, the interrelation between food and water, and the efforts of Foodnouns DAO to combat hunger. This vignette will be an addition to MakeWater’s existing video curriculum and will be used to educate students about the significance of water in agriculture and food systems. # Summary # MakeWater, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering students to make a difference in the world by becoming citizen scientists and tackling water and energy issues collaboratively, proposes a new video vignette that explores the interrelation of food and water. This vignette will be a short, engaging story that highlights the important role water plays in food production and the interconnection between food and water. The vignette will be designed to educate students about the significance of water in agriculture and food systems, and can cover topics such as water use in farming and water scarcity. Additionally, it will highlight the efforts of Foodnouns DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization that is working to combat hunger and ensure food security for all. The goal of this new video vignette is to support educators in promoting environmental sustainability and raising awareness about the critical role water plays in food production. By providing students with a visual representation of the food-water connection and showcasing the efforts of Foodnouns DAO, MakeWater aims to inspire the next generation of leaders to make informed decisions about how to use and protect water resources for a more sustainable future and to address the issue of food insecurity. Let’s #MakeWaterPossible with the FoodNouns DAO! ## FoodNoun Categories Hit ## * Food Production & Innovation * Education & Entertainment * FUN # Detailed Explanation & Team/Qualifications: # My name is Ryan Beltrán aka TriggityTron.eth founder of [MakeWater.org](https://makewater.org) and for the past 6 years I’ve worked with thousands of students all over the world to collaboratively innovate DIY water purification. During Covid we pivoted from arduino kits to simple purification kits that could be sent in an envelope to individual students. This allowed us to grow exponentially even during tough times. [MakeWater.org](https://makewater.org) is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization with a mission “to empower students who want to make a difference in the world by giving them the tools and education to tackle real-world water issues collaboratively.” The MakeWater kits are packaged in partnership with the Lighthouse for the Blind a nonprofit that gives jobs to people with disabilities. Using a unique blend of STEM education principles, experiential learning modules, and teamwork, MakeWater prepares K-12 students to contribute knowledge and solutions that make real-world differences, and enter STEM fields as citizen scientists, innovative thinkers, and inspired change agents. [Lil Nouns Prop 16](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/16) to provide 3,000 water purification educational kits for students via the MakeWater.org nonprofit. After successfully passing the vote from the Lil Nouns Dao we went to work. We spent 2022 building out our infrastructure for logging citizen science data, finalizing our new kit design as well as developing two video guided curriculum sets for elementary and middle/high schools. Our new website launched with more features to come in 2023. Here is a [preview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phPUyVLkSws) of the Elementary Video We also had our first Lil Noun MakeWater workshop in collaboration with Black Girls Code. So all the components are in place to jump into action in 2023. Our first big event will be our #MakeWaterPossible World Water Day competition for which we are seeking a sponsorship from the Nouns! FoodNouns and [MakeWater.org](https://makewater.org) have a determination to help solve global issues by activating community efforts. I believe there is a lot of crossover potential in the long term with events and/or educational videos. # Avatar/Social Information: # * Ryan Beltrán [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TriggityTron) * Discord - TriggityTron#4983 * Website: [MakeWater.org](https://makewater.org) * MakeWater Twitter: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/makewaterorg) * MakeWater Instagram: [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/makewaterorg/) * MakeWater YouTube: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@MakeWaterOrg) # Timeline: # * Video Production * Ongoing - March 22nd 2023 * Video Launch * March 22nd 2023 (Before or after world water day) # Transaction Details # 1 ETH sent to MakeWater.org Nonprofit Wallet via Endaoment.org, 0x3294caDa09dF96d0342fDC7E4548Ee76c5f4d8B5 # Outcomes # * Raised Awareness: The video vignette will increase awareness of the critical role water plays in food production and the interrelation of food and water. * Inspiration and Knowledge Expansion: The video vignette has the potential to inspire students to think about the impact of their actions on the environment and to learn more about water conservation and efforts to address food insecurity. * Support for Educators: The video vignette will provide educators with a tool to promote environmental sustainability and address food insecurity by educating students about the efforts being made to combat hunger. # Budget Breakdown: # 1 ETH will cover the following. * Gathering & Reviewing Existing Footage * Suggesting New Footage to Produce * Create a Video Story Outline * Editing the Video Content * Rendering, Exporting, and Uploading Final Video * Distribution To Social Media & Video Sites ### Proposed Transaction ### 1. 0x3294caDa09dF96d0342fDC7E4548Ee76c5f4d8B5.transfer( 1.0ETH ) ### Proposer ### 0x3294caDa09dF96d0342fDC7E4548Ee76c5f4d8B5; (Triggitytron.eth on behalf of Elequa; MakeWater)
Not feeling strong about this prop. Not a strong no, but not a yes at all. It's not proliferating the Nouns brand, which won't help food nouns later to get further recognition or founding from Nouns which is a concern to me because it's not considering any sort of revenue back to Food Nouns or Nouns.

# Jollof ⌐♥-♥ Nigeria # **tl;dr** * Jollof Rice is one of the most popular dishes in West Africa, including Nigeria. * Jollof Rice will be cooked and distributed to elderly, handicap, orphans and homeless in Nigeria. * Houseofdrey has already done a pilot test of this program. * Houseofdrey will work with CHEFFO to expand and officialize this program, calling it Jollof Loves Nigeria. * Digital assets will be created to share the “foodnounishness” with the world. * This proposal is for 1.7 ETH as an on-chain FOODNOUNS DAO proposal. * CHEFFO will donate 4 FOODNOUNS to HouseofDrey to empower and create ownership of the prop and future decisions. # **Summary** Jollof ⌐♥-♥ Nigeria is a perfect opportunity to deepen an already wonderful and positive relationship with a very nounish builder, Houseofdrey. FOODNOUNS DAO has a great opportunity to work with a nounish builder in Nigeria. Food is one of the most global ways that NounsDAO and sub daos can proliferate. Food is also one of the best ways to show love, care for others and create a more healthy and positive world. It is the goal of this project to learn new ways of creation and distribution of food, income and resources. The Jollof Loves Nigeria program is designed to scale into larger numbers each round, one day feeding thousands if not millions of people across Nigeria and West Africa, where Jollof is enjoyed everyday as a traditional staple dish.
