+      into resilient calories instead of passive costs.

+        We treat lawns and rooftops like idle servers: millions of micro-sites that can process sunlight into calories instead of

+        <p>
+          "Too chaotic," "too small," "too messy." Distributed farming is dismissed as vermin-prone or wasteful. But chaos comes
+          from missing coordination—not from distributed production. Agrinet provides shared forecasts, versioned plans, and
+          transparent audit logs so every yard and rooftop acts like a reliable node, not a random patch.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          Until now no system could coordinate billions of micro-plots. Agrinet changes that with protocol-level messaging and
+          smart contracts that negotiate planting, labor, and surplus redirection in real time.
