THE MARKETPLACE PROBLEM Many experts agree that the biggest need and largest impact in global poverty reduction could be made through “financial inclusion” of the world’s agricultural smallholders (farmers/fisher-people). Smallholders represent by far the largest group of poor, unbanked people on the planet (525M families, 2B plus people). Interestingly enough, smallholders also represent the potential to create a smarter food supply and true “food security” which is the foundation for all economic growth and a proven path out of the cycle of poverty and the associated problems it causes. Trade, aid, education, and basic access to capital are important services needed to stimulate and sustain economic development. However, these services often times are isolated have limited economic controls, rules, and processes to harvest sustainable development results. The results have led to mass hunger, poverty, inequality, corruption, and the imbalance of trade. THE MARKETPLACE SIZE Aid agencies ($1T) and micro-financiers ($100B), and payment repentance ($400B) organizations contribute over one trillion dollars in capital annually to help solve these problems and impact the 2.5B unbanked, but they are hampered by the lack of local transparency and reporting quantifiable results. THE UNITED NEEDS SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM SOLUTION United Needs is a triple bottom line impact technology company building a next-generation sustainability trade and finance platform for the agriculture ecosystem.  The United Needs Exchange Platform (UNEP) technology aims to help the unbanked smallholders become lifted from poverty and become sustainable small business owners by providing greater financial inclusivity and trade opportunities. United Needs helps mitigate capital risk, improve ecosystem inefficiencies, and increase yields between the smallholder and end commodities buyers.  United Needs and their partners invite you to join them to better our planet.
