Can someone explain what is going to happen with the remaining tokens not being sold?
They will be burnt or locked in a multi-signature wallet, read white-paper. I'm certainly not a developer, you should wait for a response from him, but I can give a preliminary answer about the burning.

Do you guys have any patents?
FoodCoin is an officially registered trademark. The company is on the last stage of registration in Switzerland. Do you think we should register patents too?If you have any proprietary technology, I think you should. The big boys are registering patents every day, if you guys have real tech innovation I think it would be best to protect it. If most of your innovation comes in your platform, or other less patentable avenues, then it's probably not necessary.

Do you have any big farming companies on board with this?
Our main priority are the small-scale farms, but it's available for registration for everybody. There is already 700 farmers registered.Holy! That's a lot of signups already, how'd you get the word out to them?

Will you be able to do any sort of ratings system on the farms? So if people really like the quality from one farm they can leave it a positive review?
1000ecofarms already has a 5-star rating and review system for the farmers. Or do you mean something else? December 11, 2017, 11:28:01 AM
How do you plan to market FoodCoin?
FoodCoin is a big Blockchain ecosystem which works in partnership with 1000ecofarms, and in one month you will be able to buy products with FoodCoin in many countries. You can check our roadmap here: https://www.foodcoin.io/files/doc/foodcoin-presentation-en.pdf December 11, 2017, 08:06:31 AM

Where are you guys headquartered anyway?
In Luzern (Switzerland).Oh cool. What would you say makes the founders so passionate about this?
Can you walk me through how individual fruits and vegetables are labeled/added to the blockchain? Is it by hand?
I guess I massively misunderstood this project if you aren't using blockchain to label everything. How else would you keep up with it all?
Okay, so the name and location of the farm that all the produce is from will be easily identifiable through blockchain?
Seems completely realistic and achievable. Also very useful in case of produce recalls, which are pretty commonplace nowadays in the US it seems at least.
Is this a possible use case? Sometimes they'll struggle to track down all the tainted produce at stores, but they all stem from the same farm. With this technology you could very easily get all the produce off the shelf before someone else gets sick or even dies, if I'm understanding the tech right.
Oh yeah, you're right. No more shady adjustments of important details for short term gain. Loving all the potential uses this coin has!

So would you eventually be able to see what vegetables were used in a salad at a restaurant? The restaurant would have to be involved in the process too I imagine for that to happen.
Yes, it is possible, not only for veggies, but chicken, oil, cheese... We consider including the restaurants in the system, so it is planned.Wow that's awesome. Even my wife would love to know for a fact her chicken tartar entree came from a free range farm. This would be a great way to help discourage people from buying from those awful factory farms where the animals live in a Hell on Earth for their short lives.

My guess theoretically yes, in practice it would probably be time consuming for restaurant employees to be showing each client where each ingredient of each dish is coming from, you'd have to make photocopies or have dozens of ipads just to show that to clients who demand it, clients who would also then like to comment or ask the waiter about this amazing new technology behind it bla bla bla 
... but who knows maybe some small restaurants might want to offer that choice as a way to attracting that "special" kind of client... You'd be surprised how many customers at nice hip restaurants want to know exactly where their food comes from. You get bonus points if it's from a small, commune based, vegan, GMO free, womens shelter. Idk, just pulled that out of my ass lol, you get the point though. People like to feel good about themselves, and who they give their money to can be pretty important.

Any possible ideas that have been tossed around but didn't make it to the roadmap, that could possibly see in the future?
The first we should do is to develop the blockchain, and tell farmers and producers about the possibilities the blockchain will give them. The "teaching" is the main objective, and after reaching it, it will be possible to embody such ideas as discount systems in foodcoins in cafes and restaurants, establish whole local food systems, organize markets on which the FOODs will be accepted, etc.Solid ideas. I think you could use it to easily keep track of supply and demand. The data could be very useful for farmers to know how much of what they will need every year.
