Support a startup empowering smallholder farmers in Zambia 🌽

AgriEn Network: We provide platforms that bring together various food system actors to co-create solutions for the food system challenges. This includes platforms to enhance agri technology transfer and adoption among smallholder farmers to enhance their productivity.

Zambia is increasingly facing challenges of food access, availability, affordability, effective food utilisation and sustainable food production. This is coupled with increasing silos among the various food system actors such as government, private sector, civil societyknowledge generators and farmers. These silos are resulting in inefficient application and allocation of resourcea to deliver impactful Food System based interventions. Conversely, a number of vulnerable people including women and youth have not had decent opportunities to achieve social and economic results from their participation in the food system activities.

AgriEn Network develops various platforms to: Promote food system based knowledge exchange. (Research, Skills transfer and information, Sku2farm programme). Promote and Facilitate investment in agriculture and agribusiness (B2B linkages). Promote Networking and co-creation among Food system actors (Co working space for start ups and Agri based organisations). Agri-innovation promotion (Project management commercialisation of innovative Agri solutions).
