The Full Belly Project has spent the last several years designing and deploying a simple and cost effective peanut sheller for use in developing countries. They are one of the first organizations to explicitly endorse and apply an Open Source model to appropriate technology.

In this interview, Jeff Rose tells us the history of the project, how it functions, and the service based model that is now emerging from applying Open Source to AT. I also read some listener’s comments. So listen and enjoy.
