Celebrating the gift of knowledge & opportunities

By Josephine Rodgers | Executive Director

Dear generous friend of Access Agriculture,

We are truly blessed by your continued support to our GlobalGiving campaign to transform the lives of young women in rural India and the communities they live in.

Rural women are the backbone of agricultural rural economy in India serving as food producers and farm workers. They often lack, however, good access to relevant farming knowledge, extension services, and resources.

Thanks to your generous donations, two agri-entrepreneur teams led by young women in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, have been empowered with digital tools and skills. They are now actively helping to spread knowledge of nature-friendly sustainable farming practices to their communities.

  • In the last two months, these women-led teams have reached over 600 beneficiaries, including nearly 300 women and schoolchildren, by screening videos on organic and regenerative farming practices, food processing, marketing, social organisation and local entrepreneurship.This has helped improve rural livelihoods and resilience, while protecting the environment.
  • After watching the videos shown by them using a smart projector, rural households have started establishing sustainable kitchen gardens, growing leafy greens and other vegetables as well as roots and tubers in small plots of land, using natural farming principles.
  • One of the associate members recently received the prestigious "Flavour of India: The Fine Cup" award for her exceptional coffee-growing skills at the recent International Coffee Meeting held in Bangalore, India.

All this could only be achieved because of your support, which has helped these rural women to bring the gift of knowledge to their communities for a brighter, more food-secure and environmentally-friendly future.

So, please accept heartfelt thanks from all of us at Access Agriculture.

May the new year bring you and your family love, peace, health and happiness!

 

Sincerely yours,
