As we head into 2012 there are a few indicators we take note of. Staring with agriculture and finishing with services. The proliferation of business concepts and ideas are among us. More and more we can elevate ourselves with knowledge that was not available before.
As knowledge floodgates open, the expansion of ideas and innovation is soon to follow. Agriculture, otherwise known as the energy sector shows great business promise as a global food crisis is crippling whole societies by the thousands. Famine has taken root in various countries spanning from Africa to the U.S. In order to help spur new food growth, organizations will need to jump in head first and allocate resources to deal with this problem. The issue then is seen being food shortage with financial speculators as the catalysts for such turmoil. We need to shift some power back into the hands of the people. How do we do this? This is capable through the concept of Micro-farming.
The convenience of shopping at your local grocer won't change. Consumers will still want to access products through stores. However the change would be that now you could stop at your local community store to purchase fresh food at a discount. The food (vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc) would be grown locally at the community farm or at the actual homes of community members. The problem is further analyzed through the effects of empowerment. Empowering the community by teaching farming techniques is the fastest way to encourage healthy living, family work programs, and environmental awareness.
