Nurture announces that it has successfully secured funding from Cromwell Oil for a pilot project using technology imported by Nurture for the eradication of the Cocoa weevil. Early findings are that the program has been a great success. The farms using the technology have seen their output soar, raising the incomes of farmers as their cash crops are exported to global markets. Nurture would like to launch this into a full fledged program across the country and is willing to be an equal contributor in any government-private alliance to support implementation. This has potentially huge impact in economic and environmental firms. It would disincentivize slash and burn farming and would support the economy of Discordia by increasing the viability of its third largest import. Nurture's track record in agricultural development is stellar; it recently won the "Goldstein Award for Sustainable Development" which praised it for "the most pragmatic and cost-effective project that brings sustainable development to disadvantaged rural communities in the Developing World." This technology is a potential win-win for all parties. It would support a pillar of the national economy, reduce rural discontent and protect the environment. Of all projects currently being suggested by NGOs this is the one with the most immediate tangible environmental and human benefits.
