Cooperatives provide critical services in building #resilience among smallholder farmers through extension services such as the dissemination of improved #agronomy practices - Patrick Kagathi, Agriterra Kenya

Indeed Farmer cooperatives play key role in farmer resilience building!they complements public extension services,create market access for small holder farmers and reduce transation costs for trading with shfs

It is the high time we reform our policy on agriculture if we are to curb the ever growing food shortage.a systems approach addressing public extension,markets,cost of production,farm economics etc is needed as opposed to just subsidy ephraimnjegafan

For sure!! #Cooperatives are farmer-led enterprise, they own their #business,they can adapt to simple and affordable #strategies (financially sustainable) #IncreasedIncome e.g. Use of improved seeds can be scaled via sustainable service provision!!

Without innovation, smallholder farming systems will remain unsustainable esp on the verge on #Climatechange #Youths therefore are the hope to make SH farming systems sustainable through innovative agric technologies Agriterra CRAFT East Africa
