Integrating the Farming Communities into the Production by the Masses Model as Inclusive Growth is what will catalyze the GDP

I write this in response to a query which I received from my previous blog and decide to add this as a note. It is important to realize that unless Production by the Masses are involved in products & services that serve the local clusters and then the next clusters and so on, growth cannot be inclusive, sustainable and renewable. This is the key and that is why the farming communities whether in the United States or India or China will have the same model of inclusion.

The farming communities will benefit from the following model of "Inclusive Growth & Capitalism";
i. All farming communities remain owners of their land
ii. All farming communities will be included as a group in the sustainable development of being part of the supply chain by access to
a. IP (Sustainable & Optimally Yielding Crop on an annual basis)
b. Collateral free capital
c. Borrowed capital hedged against the Demand Side Marketplace contracts
d. Community of Women involved to manage the process and generate revenue for the SHG/MSMEs
e. Risk mitigated debt
f. Debt free Income
g. Multiple crop cycles per year
h. Access to multiple services such as health and community insurance,
financial services, et al
i. Become shareholders of the company on good sustainable performance
j. Create a new asset class of debt free equity/land

This model is meant to be based on Swadeshi Economics, ie. "It is not Mass Production, But Production by the Masses", Mahatma Gandhi
