Thru our Chapter in Spain and the International Chamber of Commerce we are supporting an initiative over agriculture in Uganda, Kenia, Ethiopia and Rwanda, I have also jointly approach with the National Consortium Alastria which is a permissioned blockchain ecosystem in Europe. Our efforts on a think tank is about traceability and the properties and atributes of Blockchain for agriculture in that arena. I have been giving GBA presence on this think tank but also it is a recognized initiative by the ICC. I would like to promote a fraternity with the activities of Africa since Agriculture is one of the solutions for some of the Sustainable Goals of UN. Please count on such initiative to spread our efforts at GBA´s Newsletter.
