Amazing machines for the world's poorest farmers!
http://www.thefullbellyproject.org
Our vision is to support the improvement of economic possibilities for people in global communities. Full Belly is about as small as you can find: Two staff and a gaggle of determined volunteers. Our BBC World Challenge recognition was like the week-end film makers getting the Oscar nomination. It was a global spotlight on the strange idea that factories can come in cartons and precision machine parts can be made in the backyard of any mud hut. For the world's poorest farmers, efficiency is the ladder to prosperity and we try to make our machines the first step on that ladder. For Full Belly, the nomination was the first step to the possibility of making this happen around the world. We were very honored.  "
