Pillar I Study: Smallholder farmers' role as active agents of change

The study, prepared with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, Danone Ecosystem Fund, responsAbility Investments AG and C&A Foundation, emphasizes smallholder farmers’ role as active partners rather than aid recipients. It shows how pioneer companies and organizations have sustainably increased the income and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers around the world, by sourcing produce from them or selling products to them.
