BARRIERS TO BALANCE
Antiquated, Exploitative Practices
Broken, unstable and inequitable supply chains harm the environment, unfairly distribute compensation and create inconsistent quality goods.

The Positive Spiral
A successful business doesn't have winners and losers, as choices shouldn't be made among great products, competitive prices, happy suppliers or ethical production. Our model, a cascading spiral, has positive ancillary effects; a force for good that gains momentum the more people it touches.

Choking the Roots- Farmers benefit the least
Farmer/producers are the last to reap the benefits of all their work; the majority of pay is lost to intermediaries.
