I don't think your examples are quite what I was talking about. I was talking about where the coins are mined based on how much food you are growing or have harvested. A bit like Chia Coin, but instead of rewards based on disk space, it would be harvested food or something like that. Like with each bushel of corn you harvest there's a random chance you get a FoodCoin.

I look forward to the government-issued "Agriculture-coin" issued to farmers that show they grow a certain amount and follow certain standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_subsidy#United_St...
