Mission:
The Prout Research Institute is studying different areas of concern within the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The results of our studies will help design policy for submission to government figures and prepare trainings for worker-owned businesses(co-operatives) and farmers. Documentaries are being made for each area of research, and future projects include scripted publicity films.
The case study of the co-operatives in the Barlovento region will provide insights into the efficiency of Venezuelan co-operatives, as well as the effectiveness that co-operatives contribute to community organization and economic democracy.
The research into Venezuelan agricultural practices is focused on popularizing organic farming methods. This is particularly important as the Venezuelan government is in the process of dramatically increasing the amount of food that is produced within Venezuela.
There is also an ongoing land tax investigation. Prout seeks to reform these taxes to assist the widening distribution of wealth within Venezuela.
