We Train Farmers and Promote Vegetable Farming as a Profitable Livelihood for Rural Communities
Increasing Farmer Skills and Income
Small plots have big potential. Farmers can get more income with less land when growing vegetables. Using demonstration plots, on-farm instruction, and digital approaches, we train smallholder farmers in effective agronomic techniques and production practices for more successful crops.
Enabling Markets for Sustainable Development
Farming is part of a wider market ecosystem. Increasing sustainable vegetable production not only benefits farmers but expands the agricultural-input sector, enhances vegetable markets, and provides consumers with nutritious food.
Promoting Women and Youth Entrepreneurship
In many countries, farming remains a middle-aged and male-dominated business. We identify the culture-specific barriers to entry for women and youth in farming and build solutions to engage a diversity of farmers.

Scaling Impact
We use an advanced farm management and monitoring application to track activities, costs, and returns on each demonstration farm. To assess our impact, we also track the adoption of improved practices by all farmers participating in training events.
Employing Digital Platforms for Farmer Learning
Digital innovations give farmers the power to access knowledge when they want it, where they want it. Our digital strategy encompasses social media, mobile-friendly web apps, and e-learning modules, as well as platforms for markets where smartphones are not yet widely accessible.
