Lifting farmers out of poverty by farm-to-fork investments
In many rural areas of the world, agricultural value chains are key for improving food security and lifting small holder farmers out of poverty. A major problem is to increase crop production for markets in a sustainable and resilient way through improved farming practices, transport and storage conditions, processing facilities and market opportunities. Public and private investments can support this positive transformation of value chains, but investors lack proper data-based tools that can help to identify and prioritize interventions and evaluate the investments.
