Have you seen the Development Marketplace YouTube channel lately? Find out about the Development Marketplace project that created a value chain from Mongolian herders to the markets and factories where their raw wool is turned into cashmere. Vegetables harvested by farmers in India were being thrown out before a Development Marketplace project proposed in 2008 began distributing Mini Cold Storage systems to farmer markets and, in the process, creating jobs for rural unemployed youth. It is "food for thought" for any social entrepreneur.
