Partnering with Social Businesses : Key to the Future
Latin America ’ s dynamics and expansion opportunities are seen as an important global challenge for McCain . McCain Andina ’ s most important project is a partnership with the Yunus Social Business foundation ( created by 2006 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus ) with whom the first farming social business in South America was created . With the business ’ success leading to new social businesses , farming is becoming attractive to the region ’ s youth rather than a context they wish to move away from .
