The core challenges that any region faces today and especially in emerging economies are the need to;

• Stimulate the region's economy through new investments and bottom up growth
• Provide access to IP to create natural renewable sustenance based farming
• Provide stronger farming opportunities based on arid/semi-arid/non-cyclical utilization of land assets to create new income opportunities
• Access to financial services (Microfinance/Microinsurance/Microleasing) that catalyze local agriculture and MSMEs (MicroSmallMedium Enterprises)
• Insurance services to communities
• Creates new business opportunities and good-paying jobs /sustenance
• Create debt free income or debt as a cost of revenue
• Leverage women as catalysts to community change such as micro-entrepreneurs and integrated into the value chain
• Leverage human capital as Microfranchisees
• Provide commodity-enhanced products
• Provide accessible, affordable and reliable energy & energy security
• Access to marketplaces to unlock value
• Include the farming community into equity and create a new rural-urban asset class
• Broaden the local tax base that helps fund roads, schools, and health care facilities

Attempting to integrate via a globally path breaking innovative model based on inclusive model of capitalism for the rural farming communities by offering all of the services which makes it a very important initiative with the potential to impact socio-economic change for the long term based on renewable energy products and services, Microfinancial services and marketplaces all based on IP and business models. Such is an initiative that we as a team are working on in India and in the United States which make it inclusive, renewable and sustainable for the long term.

This model has the potential to make a significant difference to address power shortages, agricultural community change and all round development.

We are attempting the model via decades of research and IP with biodiesel as a renewable energy portfolio which has the potential to create a profitable and sustainable opportunity for all stakeholders. In addition the initiative is based on, natural resources, value-added agricultural industries, Intellectual and local capital, renewable energy financing, education and training, domestic source of renewable energy, promotes energy independence and be part of a solution that addresses global warming. All of the critical success factors are here and will continue to build a thriving renewable energy and agriculture industry. For this to happen in current models would require farmers or the government investing hundreds of millions of dollars over the long term which does not make it feasible or sustainable and this model is where the shared risk is what makes it a mutual win-win.

Will keep you updated folks.
