PROSPEROUS FARMERS & FOOD SYSTEMS
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
Many smallholder farmers struggle with low yields, uncertain weather, poor infrastructure and changes in global market pricing. As a result, some operate a fine line between success and failure. They can struggle to cover all their expenses, let alone grow their business.
Improving economic opportunities for farmers is critical to building a more sustainable supply chain and contributes towards the UN’s Sustainability Development Goal 1 and 2, which aim to end poverty and hunger. Economic viability can be improved through farming skills that increase yield and quality, business training, premium payments, and 0% interest loans.
AtSource+ allows customers to track the metrics in place to monitor economic opportunities provided to the farmer groups they source their products from.
