Thorium’s Platform

1) Traceability- we conducted research for five years trying to understand the plausibility of organic farming. Throughout we noticed that farmers lacked records that showcased authenticity.

2) We also noted that farmers were not transitioning to organic farming easily because of the lack of availability of organic inputs.

3) We also noted that organic foods were only accessible to one stratification in our society because of costs.

4 Health- we also noted that poor quality foods were linked to various health issues in our society.

we build a platform that has both a traceability tool and also a marketplace. This means that farmers can now authenticate their means of production using our platform and also get access to affordable inputs which in turn eases the transition from conventional to organic farming.

We are also contracting farmers for the production of organic foods, hence creating employment to all farmers.

our platform servers farmers with regards to the traceability tool and also access to the marketplace whereby they can buy organic inputs.

Our platform also serves households, vendors and institutions, with regards to them having access to organic foods.
