Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has announced a livestream discussing the use of blockchain to assist farmers in developing regions.
Impact of Blockchain on Farmers
The livestream, set for April 11 at 1 PM UTC, will explore how blockchain technology helps farmers access fair financing and engage in ethical trade. EthicHub's model connects unbanked farmers with global lenders via community-audited loans.

Among the featured speakers are:
* Gabriela Chang, co-founder and CSO of EthicHub, will discuss the platform's mission. * Jorge Barrigh, Regional Director of Impact Capital Americas (Heifer International), will address support for lending partners. * David Llorens, Head Roaster and Buyer at Animal Coffee and Jaleo, will provide insights on ethical sourcing and direct trade. * Glenn, leader of the Blockchain for Good Alliance, will highlight support for Web3 impact projects. * Moderator: Shadie Berro, Social Media Lead at Bybit.
Call for Engagement
During the livestream, a live poll will gauge who benefits more from DeFi loans: farmers or investors. Viewers can participate in the discussion through the chat and take part in a $2,000 prize pool giveaway.
