Fostering the Triple Bottom Line

The current accessible markets for many small-scale farmers encourage them to cultivate using only conventional i.e chemical farming methods and crops. The problem we seek to solve is low incomes, unsustainable farming methods, high food waste and negative impact on health. These problems are compounded by uncertain markets, fluctuating market prices and competition from neighboring countries. These problems have yet to be solved as there is a lack of knowledge at a government and institutional level, there is a lack of technical know-how and alternatives for individuals, and the development sector, although pockets of good examples still promote conventional farming methods.
