into thriving self reliant economies worth billions of dollars


The Formula


1. Build local self reliant economies focused on local needs and local environmental sustainability

2. Only surpluses will be exported3. This leads to significant improvement in both local

standards of living AND local habitat. It also produces massive revenue generating surpluses

4. Part of these revenues will reward investors while the rest will be reinvested in local infrastructure and in establishing new projects.

The GSR business plan combines cutting edge business modeling…

with large scale investment capital to jump start village economies


Once the local self reliant economies get this jump start,

their sustained growth is impressive


and not only meet local needs quickly, but produce large

surpluses:

2006- food for 100 people2007- food for 1000 people2008 - food for 10,000 people2009- food for 85,000 people2014 target – 2 million people


What does surplus food for 2,000,000 people per day means in financial terms?

Meals for 2 million people/day X

$1.50 per person / day X

365 days =

$1.09 billion / year©2009 Green Self Reliance LLC 14

The local economies also generate other substantial multiple revenue streams from:

Carbon Credits$100,000 per sq. kilometer of rehabilitated land

2014 target:

$200 million/year

$20 million/year


… Cooperative Marketing

• Production in each village aimed at satisfying local requirements first

• Surpluses sold through chain of cooperative stores• GSR guarantees 100% market for local producers at cost +

basis, and sell at 40% margin (way below standard retail price)

• This drives down consumer prices throughout region• workers wages recycled multiple times through economy

2014 Goal $100 million / year


…and over 30 industries

Focus on Local Needs Brings Sustainable Profitability

Up to now, rural economic development has been stagnant in the developing world. Why is GSR so successful?


All other developing world investments focus on export oriented businesses

and neglect local development


Such an export market orientation

impoverishes local communities and builds no lateral linkages


GSR builds strong village and regional economies


GSR stresses building local economies. Only surpluses are exported.

This results in social stability, exponential local economic growth and massive surpluses for export.

Grass Roots Expansion

Prototype village- 2009

Phase I– 2010

10 self sustained villages in SouthKivu

Investment US $ 40 Million

Phase II- 2014

250 self sustained villages in Africa

Investment of US$ 900 Million

Expansion strategy

• Prototype village ready for replication in 2009

• Engage with tribal leaders to complete development of 10 villages by 2010

• Trainers, staff and locals prepare in 2010 to scale to 250 villages by 2014

• Investment of US$ 40 Million required to complete Phase I by end of 2010 and US$ 900 Million to complete Phase II by end of 2014

• The project will be spread in multiple geographies to de- risk environmental changes due to global warming

Why is the GSR model ideal for empowering local communities?
