The Full Belly Project is a non-profit organization that designs and delivers simple agricultural machines to people in developing countries around the world. This project teaches people how to build hand-operated machines with common materials. The material of choice for sheller parts is concrete because it is inexpensive, widely available, easy to work with and has a very long service life. The vision of the Full Belly Project is that residents of rural communities in developing countries live lives of abundance. The mission is to relieve hunger by taking advantage of the highly nutritious properties of peanuts through appropriate agricultural technology.
