What Is Bright Green Mutual?

Bright Green Mutual is an Australian mutual company. It’s owned and operated by its members for the benefit of its members, who are nature-positive farmers and founding investors.

The Mutual enables investors to contribute to restoring ecological wellbeing by investing in nature positive farmers through buying Bright Greens.

The purpose of the Mutual is to run the business of evaluating and certifying what farmers (Producers) have done on the land, and then package the value of their work in a way that investors can buy-into, in order to enhance natural living systems.

Bright Green Mutual is the trading name of LOVE TO Be Bright Green Mutual Ltd, which is a public company limited by guarantee. It currently has 68 members, who are Producers and Founding Investors.

Who Are The Producers?

The first issue of Bright Greens represents the work of 23 nature positive farmers over 35 project sites in Australia.

These Producers were selected for their high-quality regenerative agriculture that captures outstanding ecological practices in Australian farming.

20 of the 23 Producers were introduced by RCS Australia Ltd, a leading regenerative farming consultancy and founding partner in the Bright Green Mutual initiative.

What Is Nature Positive Farming?

Regenerative farming is about the outcomes you achieve, not the inputs you use.

There is no one formula for nature-positive (or regenerative) farming. It is about balancing many aspects so your agricultural systems spiral up towards improved biodiversity and health, rather than spiralling down towards degradation.

According to our partners at RCS Australia, to achieve regenerative outcomes you must adopt practices that:

regenerate healthy soil,
regenerate animal and human health
regenerate businesses and
regenerate plant health

Together, these elements support thriving communities in the broadest sense.

What Are Bright Greens?

Bright Greens (BBGs) are digital tokens representing ecological improvement grown by nature positive farmers.

By buying Bright Greens you directly reward farmers, whilst growing and participating in a new economic model that:

Restores and enhances ecosystem vitality
Rewards and encourages nature positive agriculture
Produces healthy food

Why Issue Bright Greens For Investment Into Ecological Work Done By Producers?

Bright Greens provide visionary investors and philanthropists with a direct investment into established and verified ecological work done by Producers.

Buying Bright Greens ensures that the people who have done the work on the ground are rewarded for the value they are providing for all of us, in the form of increasing biodiversity, soil health, water and air quality and growing healthy, nutrient-dense food.
When you buy Bright Greens, 72.51% goes directly to Producers.

What Type Of Token Are Bright Greens?

A semi-fungible token built on the Ethereum blockchain.

A Bright Green combines a fungible token (ERC20) with a non-fungible token (ERC1155).
Each non-fungible token (NFT) has a Producer certificate attached, with a score, that verifies the work has been completed, measured and witnessed.
Our Australian legal advice treats Bright Greens as a commodity, not a security.

Can Bright Greens Be Created Out Of Thin Air?

Bright Greens can only be issued with a PIE Certificate attached.

This means they can never be minted out of thin air. Every Bright Green represents unique and specific work done by a Producer and Bright Green Mutual, whilst being fully fungible (exchangeable) with any other Bright Green.

How Many Bright Greens Have Been Minted?

Bright Green Mutual has minted 545,454 Bright Greens from the first Producer harvest.

There are 181,810,236 PIE points in the pool available for minting. Further minting from this initial harvest will become available for sale, as determined by Bright Green Mutual from time to time.

How Many Bright Greens Have Been Sold?

80,000+ Bright Greens have already been sold.

At the date of this Fact Sheet (see front cover), 80,000+ Bright Greens have been sold at a value of A$5.50 each.

Where Does The Money Go?

454,000 Bright Greens are available for sale in Round 1 (closes 12 April 2025).

Proceeds from the first 36,363 will go to Bright Green Mutual to operate the company. After that and for all future sales, 72.51% of sales proceeds will go directly to Producers and 27.49% to Bright Green Mutual and its contractors.

What Is Innovative About Bright Greens?

There are three key innovations in the Bright Green token.

They represent work already done by Producers and visible on the ground. This enables us to reward proven outcomes rather than speculate on future promises.
They are digital tokens representing the real asset of improved ecology. Tokenisation enables us to put a value on ecological wellbeing without farmers having to sell rights over their land or nature’s services. This has not been possible until now.
Our model is nature-centric. We put a value on the work that Producers do to restore and enhance the vitality of living ecosystems, rather than putting a price on separate parts of nature. This holistic approach recognises the interconnectedness of natural ecosystems.
