Slow Money Alliance

Ajamvari Farm is a family run farm. It is getting more and more productive each year. However, it’s survival in the long run will depend not only on how it builds the soil, but how it gets embedded in broader economic activities. For now, it is surviving in the most hostile environment. Farming everywhere is being done in the most hostial environments, except in places, very few but promising ones, where farmers are organized, have control over the inputs and their outputs in terms of setting priorities and prices.

The longer term goal therefore has to be to slowly contribute to building economic activities that share the issues of sustainability, dignified life of farming communities. Part of that also involves financial institutions and investments.

This Time magazine article on slow money alliance is quite interesting in that regard
