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.

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.
