7.45pm:  " The Business of Moving Mountains - Paradigm Shift As Company Foundation" presented by Ben Ripple

Ever wondered what "learning business aptitude from the left side in” really means? ...The risks of coming at a business concept from a overly gregarious social design and the importance of evolving towards balance in the equation of sustainability. Ben Ripple will be using his own experience in the building of 2 different social enterprises as the basis for "lessons learned" and explain the challenges we have faced along the way.

Ben Ripple: Big Tree Farms was founded by husband and wife team Ben and Blair Ripple in July 2003. The initial focus of the company was on the introduction and dissemination of modern day organic farming techniques and marketing systems. During the next 3 years, focus shifted to expanding procurement from the original focus of fresh produce to a wider range of artisanal ingredients sourced from around the Indonesian archipelago. These products along with the unique model of entrepreneur-driven sustainable development attracted the attention of international specialty food markets, winning multiple awards, extensive media recognition and international public speaking engagements. Ben speaks fluent Indonesian and has, during the twelve years of his full-time tenure consulted with numerous governmental and non-governmental institutions including the US Embassy, USAID and even the President of Indonesia (2003-2004). www.bigtreefarms.com | www.sweet-tree.biz |www.cocohydro.com
