Thanks, I invested 600$

I think the idea is great. I had the pleasure of working on farms in 2 West African countries. It was part of a college course I undertook.
2 things I noticed when I was there was the the price the farmers were paid for raw products (cocoa beans 5c for a sack 10kg!?!) and the fact that all the farmers had skipped the PC, Laptop and Tablet life cycle and were all on smart phones. I believe this is a common phenomenon with all sub Saharan countries. 

Locally, I have a friend who set up a small poultry farm, although western Europe is big on the virtues of local produce and healthy sustainable supply, he explained how incredibly difficult it is to compete with big suppliers to break into any store, even stores that profess to be the healthy local option.

I'm by no means a health freak or a green warrior. But the beef option in my shops come from Argentina, I live in Ireland which has a healthy and renowned beef stock. Fish situation is similar.

To sum it up, I really like the idea of this project, investment aside, I hope my money helps to develop the concept and it gives small and under educated farmers some help in sustaining their lively hood and also reaping the rewards of what they sow.

Good look team, hope to see more in the future.
