The "Gramene" Name

The name Gramene is a play on Gramineae, a synonym for "Poaceae," the grass family as well as on the name of the Grameen Bank which specializes in small loans to the poor (mostly women) in emerging economies. In 2006, Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank, won a Nobel Prize for "efforts to create economic and social development from below."
