Overview
Smallholder farmers are essential to global food systems, especially in emerging markets. They represent both a challenge and an opportunity for agribusinesses. As the backbone of many supply chains, the productivity and well-being of smallholder farmers directly influence the success of agribusinesses worldwide. Yet, developing sustainable, resilient, and inclusive smallholder supply chains remains a significant challenge.
Join this IFC webinar focused on the farmer nutrition business case, based on insights from IFC’s Working with Smallholders: A Handbook for Firms Building Sustainable Supply Chains.
This session will explore how improving the nutrition of smallholder farmers not only boosts their health and productivity but also strengthens agribusinesses by creating more sustainable and resilient supply chains.
