How custodial payments protect both sides

Custody isn't just a buzzword — it's the legal frame inside which every dollar of investor money sits before it reaches a farmer.

Funds are held by AgriFunding administration and released against verified milestones (sowing, mid-season, harvest). If a milestone isn't met, remaining funds revert to investors pro-rata.

This model is why our 3%-each-side fee covers more than payment processing — it covers compliance, audit, and milestone verification too.
