Promoting healthy soils and profitable farming

We develop relationships with partners and market players to align their resources with our vision to build momentum and help make local economies more inclusive for otherwise disadvantaged groups. The success of the projects cascades, amplifying its original scope and reach to benefit more individuals.

A better-organized community of outgrower businesses can play a significant role in the economic development of rural areas. Small/medium-sized farmers provide a local solution and serve as a connection between resource-poor small holder (“outgrower”) farmers and the other disjointed and ineffective agricultural market system.

Outgrower businesses build a network around their farmers, boosting yields and profits. They also develop lasting partnerships with other drivers in the system, including buyers processors, financial institutions, and government extension services.

The connections strengthen the entire agricultural system. Outgrower businesses have more and higher quality product to sell in the market. Private sector companies like input dealers, gain new clients. All of this works together to expand the food basket for all communities.
