Nutty Solutions: 2009 Dell Social Innovation Competition

[hlah04]

this idea isn't 'innovative'- this already exists, see plumpy nut. also i don't see how the 50k given by dell would cover even 1% of starting a food manufacturing company. the video has good production value though : )...if you want to see innovation (as in something that isn't in practice yet but can be using the money provided) watch 'seven extra hours'. as a pregnant female 20 something i think their idea is much more worthy. no offense to you or peanuts.

Thanks for the feedback. A couple of points about your inquiry:

- Plumpy nut makes RUTF, thats not the problem, the problem is sustainable funding for supply and distribution, hence the disparity between supply capacity (19,000 units) and demand (258,000) and the high death rate (16,000 children a day).

- Selling peanut butter in the US does not require building your own factory. Basic RUTF manufacturing in the developing countries is a low cost endeavor.

- Seven extra hours sounds good

Thanks!
