On an otherwise reasonable evening, more than 1,000 people packed an auditorium in Boulder, Colorado, for the culmination of the 2011 Unreasonable Institute. They came to see 27 ventures  present their solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges.


Mohamed Ali Niang, Co-Founder and CEO of Malô, shares how his venture run alongside his 3 brothers is providing a solution to the staggering statistic that every 10 minutes a child in Mali dies of malnutrition despite a surplus of agricultural supply.

Malô’s mission is to reduce poverty and malnutrition rates in Mali by producing and marketing rice-based products that enrich the lives of farmers and consumers. Ultimately, our ambition is to drive positive economic, social, and political change by transforming how rice is grown, processed, and marketed.
