Sustainable Food Security

As a technical consultant to the MicroFinance sector, I found this company doing research for a client.

GrowFish is a techno solution to the impending food crisis in Africa and elsewhere. There are 36 countries on the "danger" list from the UN. 24 of these are in Africa. Growfish enables a village or small group in urban, peri urban, or rural communities to grow both high quality protein and a bumper crop of organic healthy vegetables. The system can be build locally from a set of plan by a com… Continue

Dear Mr. Peloquin,

Thank you for your prompt reply. The Genesis Facility is very much "pro-poor" and we see room for improvement in the MF industry. I have read your position paper and fully agree with the statements. Your strategy appears to fit seemlessly with our broader mission and plan for achieving sustainability.

I will await your comments and questions following your study of our website.

Best wishes,
David Yates,
Founder and Chairman,
Genesis Facility Foundation

Thank you sir, It has been a compliment for us, we are in a very remote location and have very small contribution towards society and we feel we are too small to be any where near you efforts. But still it has been involvement with community in desert where very hostile climate and lack of natural resources leave very little space for extensive economic activities which should take its own care eventually. We expect to learn from you much and please keep us telling your stories and encourage people like us to continue work in difficult times.

Solarlife is my ID as Scientific blogger with 200 000 views in 2008. I decide with whom I think it's worth to go forward or not. Having int'l projects to protect what are my intellectual property I give as a donation , there are many sharks out. By the way who is running this blog, no adress no phone no person, strange. Is it you ?Thanks for the contacts, i'll check them.
The problem with Micro Financing in Africa is the Responsables are often in Africa and not to reach; Expensive phone calls lead to nothing. Micro Financing based In the US is mostly the better solution.

Hi Jerry, I started just on "Development crossing" to blog.
