Community ownership
Producer groups, marketing committees, cooperatives and community institutions are organized with local ownership.
Market systems
Smallholders are connected with processors, buyers and agribusinesses through inclusive business and public-private partnerships.
Inclusion
Practical training and mentoring reach farmers, women and youth in technical, business and leadership skills.
Sustainability
Climate-smart, resource-efficient production and sustainable livestock management, with routes to market that last.
