Farmers in developing countries typically comprise a major percentage of the population, are poor and generally struggle financially from year to year. They face a dilemma; their land and labor are ideal to meet the needs of the biofuels boom and they want to engage in the technology and opportunities. However, they lack the necessary investment capital, have little understanding of new technologies and cannot endure extended payback periods. Equitech resolves this dilemma through applying the Equitech System through the Joint Farming Agreement (JFA), a revolutionary process enabling farmers to realize the full farming potential of their land.

The Equitech Joint Farming Agreement creates a joint venture by joining with the farmer in providing the finance and requisite technology as he provides his land and labour. It is the perfect combination, as land that was formerly extremely limited in its ability to generate revenue is able to realize its true potential with EIL intervention. In turn, the model secures guaranteed feedstock supply for capital intensive biomass treatment plants including oil extraction, energy generation, refining and various downstream associated industries. Additionally, Equitech can capture the value of the land holdings with an equity bond to provide funding to facilitate plantation establishment and enhancement.
