Thriving farmer-owned and farmer-led agribusinesses support rural entrepreneurs and their communities.
My aspirations for enhancing my agricultural practices have been achieved. I managed to provide education for my children, and my income has improved […] Hunger is no longer a concern, as we no longer need to purchase food. Moreover, I generate income from the sale of milk and surplus maize [corn]. The health of my children has also improved, as they can consume the milk produced by our dairy cow. Furthermore, I have upgraded from a thatched house to one with a sturdy roof.

These are the stories of resilient farmers, sustainable agribusinesses, and communities that are building their prosperity.
