Financial Literacy Training

We empower farmers, agripreneurs, and SMEs with the essential financial knowledge and tools needed to effectively manage their businesses, make informed decisions, and improve profitability. Our financial literacy programs are practical, hands-on, and designed to bridge the knowledge gap between running an agribusiness and understanding its financial health.

 

Field Schools & Demo Farms

We run Farmer Field Schools (FFS) and Demo Farms as practical learning platforms where farmers, agripreneurs, and agri-tech startups acquire hands-on training in modern agricultural practices. These facilities act as innovation labs where participants learn by doing, test new technologies, and adopt techniques that improve crop productivity, climate resilience, and profitability.
