Introduction

Small farmers contributed to 70% of the global food production . The challenges they faced were innumerable – ranging from limited access to energy, increased use of chemical fertilizers, low yielding land, decreased farm output, increased input costs, etc. These were the issues that bothered Alex Eaton (Eaton), who worked with companies involved in providing alternative energy to the poor. In this endeavor, he partnered with Camilo Pages (Pages), who was involved in marketing eco-friendly technologies.

Eaton and Pages, along with a few social entrepreneurs, started Sistema Biobolsa in Mexico in 2010 as a social enterprise. Sistema Biobolsa manufactured, distributed, sold, and installed anaerobic (oxygen free environment) bio-digesters that transformed animal waste into renewable energy (bio-gas) and organic fertilizer. This system promised clean energy and sustainable agriculture.
