In view of the foregoing, this proposal is submitted for determination by the greater Free TON community as one of the user cases necessary, and we believe a backbone to the African continent foremost natural resource – Food production.

MOTIVATION:
In line with the introduction proposal to this partnership, we intend to introduce this critical program into the Free TON blockchain to users. An immutable environment that all can trust. Our clientele includes farmers, suppliers of farm inputs, government functionaries, distributors and transporters, and their consumers.
Subsequently, we wish to introduce the blockchain resource as a means to transact and also act as an escrow to help in the transactions between different parties. We shall also encourage savings and investments within the Free TON ecosystem hence creating awareness of the diverse resources available to our users and all network members.
In conclusion our main aim is to utilize the storage facility within the Free TON network and in return we shall build an application that not only creates value to the Free TON community but also bring Free TON closer to the African grassroots with a solution to its main source of food farming.
Clicksoft developers who are familiar with the Free TON network code wish to undertake this integration process in conjunction with HandUp Development field expertise and other stakeholders.
