Speculative System Design Project

Environ at a Glance

Blockchain for Socio-Economic Impact

We are a group of three MDes Product Design students from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. We are working on a system design project under Praveen Nahar.

We started our project by studying cryptocurrencies and trading and moved to our topic titled “Blockchain for Socio-Economic Impact”. Environ is a blockchain platform developed for providing blockchain-based services for social and environmental impact. This is a speculative service designed as a first pilot project on Environ targeting Indian farmers for benefitting the agricultural sector. The services are aimed at improving the financial inclusion and supply chain of the agricultural sector.
