Those of you have deployed to Afghanistan have probably seen farmers growing opium as a cash crop. There's a company called Rumi Spice that is trying to change that by giving them a better deal: it turns out that the spice saffron is perfect for growing in Afghanistan, and it gives the farmers up to six times the income of opium.
Many of their team members are Veterans who have served in Afghanistan.
