The GVSI is a Social Impact Initiative to facilitate “Cottage Industries” in the villages of our community and enhance their ability to make artisan items and specialty foods at home, receive a quality endorsement from an independent body, creatively package it, and market locally, in the Gulf and around the world. The initiative will provide a special committee of volunteer experts to help in production, quality control, creative aspects and packaging, developing marketing networks and distribution systems locally and externally.
