GM🌞 V-Community!

Welcome to another beautiful week and the start of a new month! Some exciting news in this week’s edition of V DAO Weekly, so let’s get to it.

Exciting Opportunity!

We're on a mission to create unique ecosystem-builder avatars that represent qualities we want to see within V DAO. 🌍✨ Our chosen animals—the beaver, the bee, the sea star, and the owl—all improve ecosystems through their everyday actions and disruptions.

We need support! 🎨 Whether you’re using Midjourney, your drawing pad, or any other tool, design your vision of these avatars and submit your styles via the Typeform linked below.

Submission Guidelines:

• Focus on the animals, and use a white background.

• Files must be in JPEG or PNG format and 5 MB or smaller.

• Submission window: 5/31/2024 to 6/10/2024.

• Submit as many designs as you like!

To qualify, make sure you're a member of our Discord server (link at the bottom). Winners will be celebrated on our socials and acknowledged for their invaluable contributions.

We can’t wait to see your epic designs!

Looking Back

Last week, we had Kristof Hayes, founder of listt.io, take us on a journey into the world of AI and robotics. 🌾🤖 Kristof shared his insights on how these cutting-edge technologies can revolutionize farming and drive regeneration.

V Community Chat 🗣️

Last week, our community was buzzing with thought-provoking discussions about the future of robotics and automation in farming and food systems. 🌱These conversations sparked innovative ideas on how to connect more people with nutrient-dense food grown by regenerative farmers.

Just take a look at WIYdeas idea for utilizing drones.

What’s on this week?

Get ready for another inspiring week! We're thrilled to welcome Menno, V DAO Contributor, and Rob Avis, Co-CEO of 5th World, to guide us through the art of regenerative land design.

Menno will walk us through his exciting project in France, transforming a plot into a vibrant yoga retreat complete with an agroforest and veggie gardens. He'll share his thought process and initial steps, offering a firsthand look at turning vision into reality. 🧘‍♂️🌿

Rob will then dive into the design, offering expert insights and emphasizing the critical role of good data in the planning stages. Whether you're starting your project or just curious, this session promises to be packed with wisdom and practical tips. 🧠

Every week we pose a new question in Discord, to get the community thinking about a specific problem, solution, idea, or topic.

This week we asked, “In what ways can building network states empower individuals and local communities?”
