The Full Belly Project
In 2001, Jock Brandis traveled to Mali with plans to repair a water treatment system. He met a woman who told him that a peanut shelling machine would help her village a lot. Brandis took her idea to heart and contacted Dr. Tim Williams of the University of Georgia, an expert on peanuts. Williams recommended a Bulgarian Peanut Shelling design. Brandis and a friend adapted the design eventually coming up with the Universal Nut Sheller. By 2003, Brandis and a group of returned Peace Corps volunteers created the Full Belly Project.
