Goal action plan
We will promote sustainable agricultural methods and natural resource management practices through women-led post-harvest management, improved storage and infrastructure, marketing and processing, and accelerating behavior change by consumers. CARE will leverage our agriculture value chains and markets, inclusive finance and climate resilient agriculture models to impact the lives of small-scale women food producers and, in doing so, improve incomes, create greater nutritional diversity and improve the efficiency of natural resource usage. We will build on our collectives and producer group work particularly with women and youth to promote economies of scale such as aggregation of produce, access to post-harvest technologies, and lower production costs per unit of crop sold.
