Significance

The Feed the Future Initiative is one of many programs that help improve foreign economies, and a sustainable food supply for local populations.  Programs like these help humanitarian efforts and make the countries of the world more in connection, and raise a standard for lead economies of the world.

Companies looking to donate additional food supply could benefit by research into programs similar to the one put forth in this article.  Although this program does not accept donations, others do and can be vital to U.S. companies goals for Ethics, Community and Social Responsibility development.

Entrepreneurs could benefit into research into programs as these to find international business opportunities.  Alternatively, citizens could inquire into the program and look for opportunities to work with a government organization to carry out goodwill goals of the United States.

Regulation Regular comments on actions of government agencies with an explanation and examination for stratagem or opportunity.

In an effort to find opportunity for entrepreneurial and investment efforts, I have begun to monitor more actions from governmental agencies regarding regulations.  This segment aims to highlight interesting developments in the business environment including competitors, regulations, or interesting occurrences.

THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.  THIS IS COMMENTARY ON REGULATION.

Regulations can be a source of opportunity, as they make a major part in the determination of barriers to entry.  An industry or practice is difficult to enter if there is a significant amount of regulative procedures and requirements, versus when restrictions are removed an opportunity may be presented.  In this way we are doing our small part to encourage an informed people.

We start from modest beginnings but continue to identify, develop, and research opportunity and strategy for entrepreneurs, to better develop business ideas.
