What is The Loch Ness Botanical Society?

In the realm of agriculture, where tradition meets innovation, you'll find the Loch Ness Botanical Society. This enigmatic guild employs the sorcery of web3 technologies and industrial automation to sculpt the very essence of life. Members are invited to the grand dance of creation, each given dominion over a grow spot in the society's automated wonderlands of flora.

The society wields the power of Non-Fungible Tokens to weave tales of origin, illuminating the roots of each product with a transparency as clear as Loch waters. They guide members on a journey of independence and prosperity, not just surviving but thriving in the rhythm of nature and technology.

The society is a beacon in the night, illuminating the path towards a more sustainable world, one grow spot at a time. From humble backyard Eden to colossal commercial paradises, they stand resolute in their commitment to nourish both the land and its people.

In the scrolls of their future, one can glimpse majestic plans - a Grand Atrium, a garden of 4200 plants basking under the celestial dome; a vast parcel of earth to be cultivated into a fertile tapestry of fruits, vegetables, and herbs; a resort of leisure and pleasure. But, their most audacious dream yet - to give every cannabis enthusiast the power to craft their own strains, a testament to their mastery over the ancient and the futuristic.

The Loch Ness Botanical Society invites you to join their quest, to partake in the great symphony of growth, and revel in the magic of creation

Roadmap 2022

Y1

The Grand Atrium

Our first objective is the design, construction, and inauguration of The Loch Ness Botanical Society's Grand Atrium in Angel Fire, NM. The Perrenial Waters Collection will require a facility that can house 4,200 plants. We are working with consulting partners to ensure that our grow floor and process meet the highest standards using the latest in horticultural technology.

Estimated Duration: 1 - 2 Years
Y2

The Farm

From the very beginning, we will be looking to acquire a large parcel of land or a parcel that has adjacent parcels that may remain available to us in the future. Once the grow operation is commercially operational, we will begin developing the remaining land for cultivation of our own outdoor, mountain-grown (MG) cannabis, and eventually vegetables, fruits, and herbs of all varieties. The farm will not be tuned for yield but for quality, using eco-friendly processes.

Estimated Duration: 1 - 2 Years
Y5

Complete PWC Customization

Our greatest ambition with this project is to allow cannabis lovers to design their own strains through our grow operation while having as granular control over the process as possible. The degree of customization available to PWC Grow Spot sponsors will be as comprehensive as possible. We hope to utilize the latest in genetic sequencing and editing technology to enable this degree of customization and make it available to PWC members in perpetuity.

Estimated Launch: Year 3
Y8

The Resort

Our own TLN golf course, recreational facilities, and equestrian facility.

Estimated Launch: Year 8

The Farm

From the very beginning, we will be looking to acquire a large parcel of land or a parcel that has adjacent parcels that may remain available to us in the future. Once the distillery is commercially operational, we will begin developing the remaining land for cultivation of our own grain and eventually vegetables, fruits, and herbs of all varieties. The farm will not be tuned for yield but for quality, using eco-friendly processes. The yield from this farm will be used to develop our top-shelf whiskey collections.

Estimated Duration: 1 - 2 Years
Y5
 
 

The American Connoisseur Collection

Our greatest ambition with this project is to allow whiskey lovers to craft their own whiskey through our distillery while having as granular control over the process as possible. The degree of customization available to American Connoisseur Collection investors will be as comprehensive as possible. All grain will be sourced from our farm.

Estimated Launch: Year 5
Y6
 
 

The Lodge & Restaurant

Although the timeline from this point onwards is a bit more speculative as of now, the scaling of our operation should easily allow for the establishment of an onsite lodge and restaurant. The LOCH NESS Lodge & Restaurant will be open to public but also provide special access to our American Genesis Members.

Estimated Launch: Year 6

The Resort

We would like to consolidate all our operations into a resort experience including our very own 18-hole golf course, recreational facilities, and equestrian facility.

Estimated Launch: Year 8

Our Expert Team

Krishna Patel

Founders

I am a writer, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and researcher. I decided to gain knowledge through experience and that led me on a journey to discover the tranquility and power of media and culture at the global scale. Just 4 months out of film school, I took on a feature film, which gave me my first feature film director credit at the age of 19. My LA-Based company, 2Change Films produced over 150 music videos and 60 commercials plus many other types of content such as webseries, documentaries, as well as the Annual Vijay Amritraj Foundation Gala which was broadcasted to over 100 million viewers worldwide.

My analytical approach to the global media trade brought to light a segment of the industry that was untapped. I realized that the international television format industry was just emerging and there was a space for a venture that could take part in it from the South East Asian region. I worked with a fantastic team of people to develop multiple formats and make great industry relationships while we tried to find our place in the new industry.

Kerul Patel

Developer

By nature, I consider myself dedicatedly oriented towards the tortuous practice of logic. This often means that before doing anything, I start rigorously exploring possibilities and potential hurdles. I find myself often with thoughts running rampant in my mind: what variables can I correct for while I tweak this or that and what can I do to make more than just incremental improvements to the product, service, or experience. And that's what brought me into the IT field.

Turned out, I am somewhat of an IT Geek. I fell in love with the structured and coordinated development it allowed for. Seems like time flies because I have now been active in the IT industry for more than 20 years. I'm a Founder and CEO of Adaptable Services, a software solutions company which I founded back in 2017. My journey started back in 1998 as a hardware and network engineer. I worked in that industry for almost 2 years. But my interest in software development pulled me towards the software industry. I started from the ground up in 2000, working as a junior software developer in a company for nearly a year and a half, but then I never look back. In 2005, I'd started my own company Pro Designz (Programming and Designing). I enjoy learning and love to experiment with new technologies.

The Artist

I have and always will consider myself an artist who simply enjoys the journey of acquiring new skills along the way. For me, learning is second nature. Out of all the things I have learned, from my childhood up till now; I found that art is the most suitable medium for me to express myself.

School and later engineering college not only helped me understand the workings of this universe but also helped me gain my own perspective on how things looked and worked. This helped me a lot with my art. The journey which started with simply a piece of paper and a pencil, years ago, has now progressed to the digital canvas and the journey has been exhilarating.

It aims to create a self-sustaining system where individuals and communities are empowered by access to automated growing solutions.

The team at the Loch Ness Botanical Society uses NFT technologies to create digital provenance solutions for its products. This allows for greater transparency and trust in their systems, as well as enabling members to have control over their grow spots in the automated aquaponics grow operations.

The value of NFTs can be assessed based on their rarity, utility, and tangibility. The Loch Ness Botanical Society's NFTs may have a high rarity value, as they provide control over grow spots in an innovative project. Their utility stems from the ability of token holders to actively participate in the production process and choose what will be grown. The tangibility of these NFTs may come from the real-world products grown using the automated solutions provided by the Society. However, remember that value is largely a matter of personal perception and can vary for short- or long-term holding.

Members of the Loch Ness Botanical Society can benefit from access to automated growing solutions, which can help to reduce delivery times, cut costs, and eliminate complexities in the growing process. They can also take part in the production process, choosing what will be grown and keeping the product or the revenue. The Society aims to empower individuals and communities to take greater control of their environment and build resilient communities through its services and products.
