Người Thuyết trình: Marjatta Eilitta

Sự kiện: ECHO International Agriculture Conference (11-01-2017)

Session : Developing country smallholder farmers need information on technologies and practices that will sustainably increase their yields – but they also need inputs and profitable markets for their products. The USAID-funded Farmer-to-Farmer (F2F) program strongly focuses on farmer associations, cooperatives, and rural women’s groups, but additionally, support has been given to agribusinesses in processing, aggregation, and inputs, as well as to educational institutions. The speaker will highlight the ways in which diverse Farmer-to-Farmer initiatives positively impact livelihoods of farmers, inviting ECHO’s stakeholders to share their expertise with the program implemented by Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture (CNFA).
