Nurturing grassroots innovations
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesResearch indicates that the Honey Bee Network has developed a database of over 10,000 innovations. Investments and training to scale-up these innovations are few because of the lack of the much needed technology and business mentoring. RIN identifies and nurtures those innovations that create significant outcomes for rural lives and positively impact the environment and society. RIN offers innovators funds, mentoring, networks and recognition. ActivitiesOur work will also generate sizeable consumer surplus for the rural farmers/users. We will generate considerable social returns by incubating innovations which conserve natural resources, improve human health and improve agricultural skills.
