The document proposes a two-step approach to unleash agricultural productivity in India by enabling 500,000 small farmers to access markets and affordable capital totaling $200 million by 2016. Step 1 aims to de-risk farmers by introducing supply chain efficiencies using an ICT platform. Step 2 would develop tools to help banks and MFIs lend to farmers at lower costs. A bundled solution is proposed that combines steps 1 and 2 to benefit farmers through increased incomes, financial institutions through new customers and lower costs, and address India's large financing gap in agriculture. An 18-month implementation plan and $1.3 million funding need is outlined.
This document summarizes a presentation about engaging business with biodiversity conservation. It discusses how businesses impact and depend on biodiversity, and the resulting conflicts and opportunities. Valuing nature can help address these issues by informing policy decisions.

The document discusses how to get urban agriculture in Philadelphia to a tipping point where it transforms into a social epidemic. It proposes establishing farming centers as hubs for organizing food production, jobs, education, and building community on 3-4 adjacent vacant lots. Farming centers would function by managing assets, skills, knowledge, volunteers, and communication to supply the community. The centers could be staffed by farm/garden supervisors, information specialists, coordinators, and retail managers. Starting more centers could create social capital through education, opportunities, communication, beautification, and jobs. An income statement projects revenue and expenses for the first start-up year.
The document discusses strategies for building sustainable local economies. It argues that choosing locally-sourced options for food, energy, manufacturing and currency can provide security, safety, health and affordability for communities while stimulating the local economy. Specific strategies proposed include developing local food systems to source 20% of daily calories from the neighborhood, extending seasons through processing to access food year-round, and creating jobs through reuse of vacant properties for urban food production. Overall, participating in the local economy through values-aligned business, policies and community engagement is posited to benefit individuals and communities.
This document discusses measuring the direct benefits of local economies. It proposes that a local economy unites people and assets to build a community investment portfolio.

A Brief Overview of Wealth Creation and Value Chainsruralsupport
The document discusses building sustainable livelihoods through a wealth creation approach focused on rural value chains. It proposes assessing value chains based on their ability to generate seven forms of wealth: social, natural, political, intellectual, built, individual, and financial capital. Interventions aim to collaboratively build multiple types of wealth through activities like training, grants, and events. Progress is measured using indicators for each form of wealth. The role of intermediaries is to facilitate communication, foster investment, and hold a system-wide view of building sustainable rural livelihoods through value chains.

The Board evaluated alternatives on their long-term economic, social, environmental and legal impacts to determine the best path forward.
Most of the poor are farmers – real solutions engage them.
We don’t tell people what to do – we ask them what they want. Over half the world’s poor are farmers; in nations like Tanzania it’s 75%. Urban slums fill with farmers seeking a better life but not finding it. So we go into villages and engage. Historically, cooperatives are how farmers lift themselves up. African farmers understand the power of joining together. So Cheetah empowers communities with grass-roots organizing, needed investments, and access to markets.
The nature of sales in retail banking has changed dramatically. While there is a renewed pressure to grow accounts, the techniques banks have traditionally used to acquire new accounts have become less effective.
As consumer preferences continue to shift and non-traditional competitors continue to disrupt the market, the ROI of acquisition techniques like batch mail and branch cross-sell will continue to decline. In order to thrive, banks need to leverage the tremendous amount of data they have on each of their customers to drive more profitable and satisfying customer interactions across all of their channels.
This presentation will:
• Identify the market trends impacting banks’ growth strategies.
• Explore the role of marketing and risk analytics in making better acquisition decisions.
• Introduce best practices for implementing a more holistic approach to account acquisition.

It diagrams material and data flows, value chains, and supporting services.
This proposal outlines a plan to address food insecurity among children in Youngstown, Ohio by designing, assembling, and delivering ready-to-eat meals using locally sourced ingredients. The proposal notes that 1/3 of children in Youngstown experience food insecurity and outlines an approach to convene community members to define nutritious and culturally appropriate meal options, test meal preparation and distribution, and identify local food sources and business opportunities to support a sustainable model. The goal is to fuel children while also building a local food system and enterprise infrastructure that can be replicated in other communities.
The document discusses the development of business cases and ecosystems in 6 steps:

The document defines key terms related to local agriculture systems and discusses how the USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative uses a holistic framework to support local food systems. The framework focuses on diversifying specialty crop portfolios, integrating production and consumption within local areas, and developing self-sufficient local agriculture networks that improve community health and economic opportunities.
Spending more money locally on food sourced from within 100 miles of a community can have economic benefits. If residents of North and South Linden, Ohio spent an additional 2% of their food dollars on local food, it could create 36 new jobs paying $30,000 per year. This is because more money would be spent on local food production, processing, and labor within the community rather than leaving the area. A curriculum is being developed to train residents in local food system jobs like food production, processing, business planning, and year-round agriculture techniques.
A March 2009 final report given to the Illinois General Assembly by the Local and Organic Food and Farm Task Force opened with the following statement:
Illinois consumers spend $48 billion annually on food. Nearly all of this money leaves the state. To retain a larger share of Illinois food dollars, public, private, and civic sectors must work together to build a farm and food system that meets consumer demand for “local” food.
