  5. Looking holistically at the system Designing projects to solve mutliple challenges simultaneously
  6. Waste = Food Use Current Solar Income Celebrate Diversity
  7. From soil to sale TRANSITION I’m living in Kansas City, MO In-flight magazine, it’s in the crease Known for two things among other Americans that have never been there: fountains and barbecue Though only anecdotal sample, Ethiopia to the west has a similar challenge…
  8. So let’s imagine now what private sector engagement with smallholder farmers looks like from Madison Avenue or London… Examine case studies from other sectors that illustrate some of the principles that can invigorate trade worldwide And create new paradigms…
  9. Brand with a social mission of "helping children get clean water” August 2003 launch of bottled water product and formed non-profit Ethos International to invest funds from the business in safe water programs 2005 Starbucks purchased the company for $8 million Its products are now sold throughout North America only $0.05 to $0.10 of the retail price ($1.80) goes to charity raised $6.2 million for this purpose It has been argued[6] that donating $100 to CharityWater would be equivalent to purchasing 2,000 bottles of Ethos, without the environmental impact associated with 2,000 bottles composed of non-recycled plastic.
  10. TOMS Shoes Was Founded On A Simple Premise: For Every Pair Purchased, TOMS Gives A Pair Of Shoes To A Child In Need. One for One. Brands with social missions have potential to create MOVEMENTS…
  11. Over 2.5 million people have been impacted in just two years. (RED) is an ingenious idea that unites our incredible collective power as consumers with our innate urge to help others. (RED) is where virtue meets desire. Each time you buy a (RED) product or service, at no extra cost to you, the company who makes that product will give up to fifty-percent of its profit to buy and distribute antriretroviral medicine to our brothers and sisters dying of AIDS in Africa. Every dollar goes straight to Africa. Straight to the people who need it.
  12. Buy (RED), save lives. It's as simple as that. (RED) Desire and virtue. Together at last.
  13. STORY AFTER THIS SO PAUSE TO ASK QUESTION.. Last week, Kraft Foods has launched the first mainstream chocolate products in Europe to carry the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal. A continuation of work that’s started in 2005 in the Cote d’Ivoire, Kraft has committed to increase current purchases of cocoa beans from Rainforest Alliance Last year, the company increased its year-over-year purchase of coffee beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified(TM) farms by 50 percent, bringing the total to nearly 30,000 metric tons -- once again making Kraft Foods the world's largest buyer of coffee from Rainforest Alliance Certified(TM) farms. In February, Kraft Foods and other industry, government and nongovernmental partners joined with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and announced the launch of a comprehensive program that will invest $90 million over five years to advance the sustainable production of cocoa and cashews in Africa. Over the last five years, the company's partnership with the Rainforest Alliance has benefited more than 300,000 farmers and their dependents on more than 60,000 hectares of farmland in developing markets. Importantly, the decision to source from Rainforest Alliance farms has been both a sustainability and business success. For example, Kraft Foods relaunched several Kenco coffee products in the United Kingdom last year, highlighting Rainforest Alliance certification. Initial consumer impact has been impressive, generating double-digit revenue growth and share growth of 1.2 points in the fourth quarter 2008. In Sweden, sales at a key away-from-home customer of instant and espresso coffee doubled since Kraft Foods began selling coffee with the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal in 2006. In total, eight of Kraft Foods' coffee brands in Europe and North America now carry the Rainforest Alliance seal. This support for farms that have earned Rainforest Alliance certification showcases the commitment our employees have to making a delicious difference in our world. Beginning in France and Belgium, Cote d’Or premium dark chocolate will now contain cocoa from farms that meet the sustainability standard of the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ program. Over the coming months, the certified Cote d’Or range will be rolled out to consumers in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Canada and the United States. It will also be made available to chocolate lovers in Sweden, Denmark and Finland under the Marabou brand and using the Suchard brand in Austria and Switzerland. “ Our collaboration with Kraft Foods and grassroots groups in Cote d’Ivoire will result in long-term, positive changes in the lives of cocoa farmers, their families, communities and the ecosystems on which they depend,” said Edward Millard, director for Sustainable Landscapes, Rainforest Alliance. http://goodandgreen.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/kraft-foods-launches-rainforest-alliance-certified%E2%84%A2-chocolate-products-in-europe/ http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS29321+20-Apr-2009+PRN20090420 http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS29321+20-Apr-2009+PRN20090420
  14. A country where agricultural accounts for 90% of exports and 85% of employment -- and there are success stories -- we’ve got a story too. We just need to bring the PLAYERS, PIECES AND PACKAGE together. Perhaps focusing on one lynchpin in raising Ethiopia out of poverty -- such as STRENGTHENING THE EXTENSION SYSTEM. EMPOWERING WOMEN HIGHLIGHT THREE CONSUMER TECH TRENDS…
  15. If you are wondering if these new social media channels matter, they do. What do we mean when we say “Social Media”? Online social communications vehicles that help WOM -- opinions, insights, experiences, perspectives and media. -- spread online include efficiently email, blogs, product review sites, discussion boards, newsgroups, IM, social networks, video- and picture-sharing services and wikis. Collaboration possible within organizations in all new ways. INSIGHT - ENGAGEMENT - MEASUREMENT Staggering #s: Video-sharing site You Tube streams 100 million videos / day. That’s equivalent of reaching 1/3 of the U.S. population. Or the equivalent of two Super Bowl audiences. Social networking site Facebook is adding 1 million new members each week. Facebook isn’t a single social network. It’s thousands of mini networks clustered around shared interest. MySpace isn’t just for kids anymore: 33% of their members are over 45 50% are 35 or over 80% are 18 or older -- staggering number. No wonder a watershed event in US politics is imminent: First primary here B4 any state Social media is a game-changer for business and culture. If your brand is relevant you are being talked about and it’s impacting your bottom line. Customer Review Sites - seeing more and more user-generated product info 77% reported increased traffic - Improves conversion - Higher average order value What’s more valuable: 100 passionate customers online discussing your product and category, or 1,000 people who see your banner ad? Even though we know that 71% of all WOM takes place face to face, online behavior is a proxy for offline word of mouth. OPPORTUNITY: MULTI-VARIANT TESTING OF CONCEPTS FOR VERY LOW COS
  16. Mavens - Authorities or go-to people who CREATE CONTENT post that online. Bottom line: speakers online, and seekers online have greater influence over the rest of the population. Authority vs. Consensus Do I need back surgery? Which car to buy? Winning over friends
  17. Donating money is easy for many people, but what if a WESTERNER WANTS TO DONATE THEIR GRAPHIC OR COPYWRITING SKILLS TO HELP DESIGN PACKAGING FOR ETHIOPIAN FARMERS? s WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN ON THIS PLATFORM. Huge opp’y for cost-effective INNOVATION & CO-CREATION. Let’s look at an example from the B2B perspective. P&G When they look for a molecule that takes red wine off a shirt or absorbs smells in a diaper, it no longer just relies on internal R&D. It puts those requests out on a site called InnoCentive. Scientists around the world can see the challenge, work on a solution and sell it to P&G. Again, the costs of working outside the company are minimal. The Internet makes it possible to rake in expertise from all over. ----- Open Innovation laboratory more ideas and smart people outside your firm than you can ever hope to hire. There is tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise among your customers and partners waiting to be harnessed Large firms find it very difficult to do cost-effective innovation
