Capital that grows food, not just numbers
Food Token is DO Corp's humanitarian coin, live now. It puts on-chain capital to work on real farms in Uganda — permaculture crops and livestock run with local farmers — so the harvest feeds families and value flows back into the community.

Most digital assets aren't backed by anything you could eat, plant or stand on.
Meanwhile, farmers with good land and real skill can't get the capital to grow — the money and the need rarely meet.
Capital sits idle, farmers go without
Across Uganda, smallholders farm with limited tools, feed and finance. Harvests stay small, and communities stay one bad season from shortage.
You want your money to mean something
You want returns you can trace back to something real, not another token that moves on hype alone — and you'd like it to do some good along the way.
Food shouldn't depend on gatekeepers
Food should be abundant and accessible, not held back by centralised systems or financial barriers. That's the principle Food Token is built on.
We've been in the field with farmers for years. Now the chain is ready.
Food Token didn't start as a whitepaper idea. It grew out of the Food Community, a real-world initiative from the Cookie DO community that has spent years giving humanitarian support to farmers working with very little — DO Corp now brings that work on-chain, with DO Chain underneath it.
Years of on-the-ground aid
The Food Community has focused from day one on farmers in regions short of resources, helping them grow food sustainably on very little.
Built on DO Chain
A Cosmos-based Layer 1 with sub-second finality. Every transaction settles on a public ledger you can check yourself.
2 dedicated modules
Food Token (module 19) and Land Token (module 20) are both part of the DO Chain architecture.
Transparent, community-aligned, real
Food Token funds real farms run with on-the-ground partners, and every transaction settles on DO Chain — what you hold is tied to work you can see and verify.
Livestock, permaculture and a farm that feeds itself
Uganda is a natural place to start. Livestock is already central to rural life there, and we pair that with permaculture, so the farm builds its own soil instead of buying it in.
Permaculture design
Hugelkultur beds, deep mulching, companion planting and mandala gardens — methods that hold water, build soil and cut the need for bought-in inputs.
Livestock farming
Cattle, goats, pigs and poultry turn crop scraps and pasture into protein and income, and their manure goes back into the beds.
A closed loop
Nothing is wasted. Crops feed the livestock, the livestock feed the soil, and the soil feeds the next harvest — the design gets stronger every season.
Capital supports growth. Growth feeds communities — and communities strengthen the network.
The Food Token loop
Three steps from your wallet to a working farm
Buy Food Token
Set up a DO Wallet, then buy Food Token in a few minutes on the Food Token site. You keep custody of your tokens the whole time.
Your capital goes to work on the farm
Food Token channels capital into farming, land development and local food systems, starting with the Uganda permaculture and livestock project.
The harvest flows back
Food feeds local families, and value from the farm cycles back to holders through staking, liquidity and DAO-led initiatives.
Food Token feeds the mission today. Land Token secures the ground next.

- Families eat better, harvest after harvest.

- Good land stays under-farmed.
- Communities stay one season from shortage.
- The gap between capital and need stays open.

Where do I buy Food Token?
On the Food Token site — every "Buy Food Token" button on this page links straight there. Connect a wallet and follow the on-page steps.
What do I need before I start?
A wallet that works on DO Chain. DO Wallet is the simplest option, and you’ll also need some funds to swap from.
What about Land Token?
Land Token is coming soon and isn’t available yet. It will be a real-world asset that secures and stewards productive farmland. Food Token is live today — it channels capital into farming and local food systems, and connects to staking, liquidity and DAO initiatives.
Why Uganda, and why livestock?
Livestock is already a way of life in Uganda: around 6.8 million households keep animals, and 58% of households depend on livestock for their livelihood. Livestock also fits permaculture perfectly — animals turn crop waste and pasture into protein and give the soil its fertiliser.
Are returns guaranteed?
No. Food Token is a digital asset and its value can go down as well as up. Only commit what you can afford to hold for the long term, and do your own research.
How does this connect to the rest of DO Corp?
Food Token and Land Token are modules 19 and 20 of the DO Chain architecture, and every flow settles through $DO — see the full picture on the ecosystem page or the roadmap.
