Supportive business ecosystems

In Ghana, smallholder farmers like David Amoamah have struggled to access loans for farm improvements. Now, an innovative pilot project connecting farmers with financing, reliable service providers, and a guaranteed market for their crops has brought a real improvement to the livelihoods of 47 oil palm farmers.

A lifelong passion for agriculture along with innovative farming techniques are helping Huda, a farmer in Egypt, confront an increasingly harsh climate while supporting her children. Despite her commitment to farming, traditional methods left her crops vulnerable and profits low. The Khair Ardna project provided Huda with training on efficient irrigation, new fertilizers, marketing and ways to combat the effects of climate change. Now, she has not only secured her crops, but increased her profits and improved her livelihood.
