The Crop Hop Platform is designed to have an immediate impact upon launch and to have growth limited only by global population size and internet access.
The Goals of CropHop:
- The platform that connects us all back together again — a positive place to get to know our neighbors.
- A place to source local foods — learn about other cultures directly through food sharing/sharing extra plates — a place that prevents food waste — a place that solve hunger.
- A place for neighbors to share information and sale used items such as household goods, artwork, and furniture.
- A place for farmers and food vendors to market locally grown, healthy food choices.
Crop Hop is a new type of social network that contains its own sharing ecosystem. This ecosystem will begin laying the foundations for sustainable solutions to conquering many of the issues we as humans currently face such as waste, world hunger, education, healthcare, homelessness, community building/conflict and much more.
The CropHop platform allows local residents, backyard farmers, hobby farmers, family farmers, restaurants, food banks, grocery stores, and a host of other groups to have a virtual marketplace whereby excess foods can be either sold or donated. This platform is funded by chartable donations.
The overarching goals of CropHopping are to: (I) reduce food waste- 50% of the food in America is wasted, (ii) create a new marketplace for farmers and food sellers/restaurants to interact and develop relationships, (iii) Connect people through a new social media platform that supports free-speech but lacks malice. Our Facebook-replacement will be highly interactive with FarmtoForkTV,(see below) and (iv) encourage the disintegration of large-scale mono-cropping agriculture by community driven initiatives.
IT IS OUR HOPE THAT WE WILL ALL MAKE THE SWAP TO CROP HOP;
TOGETHER LEARNING HOW TO CREATE A BETTER FUTURE
FOR OUR PLANET AND HUMANS ALIKE.
