Going Deeply Local to Build for the Long Term
Channel: SOCAP Global
Date: 05/09/2013

PlayaViva (a luxury ecological resort in Mexico) and Farmerline (a platform that increases information access for small hold farmers in Ghana) might seem like odd bedfellows. However, they share the same key design principles of using a mix of technology and anthropology in service of understanding the needs of their respective communities. Supported by local people, these offer a roadmap to long-term benefit for people and planet.
