Event Description
An evidence-based discussion with Hystra and African Enterprise Challenge Fund. Hosted online by the Practitioner Hub for Inclusive Business. Candid views, emerging evidence, and a quiz too!
Join Jessica Graf, Network Partner at Hystra, and Hugh Scott, Director of the African Enterprise Challenge Fund, as they reveal their findings on the progress of agribusinesses that engage smallholders. In the conversation facilitated by Hub Editor, Caroline Ashley, they will compare their data on which businesses are thriving and delivering impact for farmers, and discuss their common findings about the farmer as a rational decision-maker.
Hugh draws on learning from 100+ commercially sustainable agricultural projects funded by the AECF and the AECF’s recent Impact Report. Jessica will be sharing findings from Hystra’s new report on Smallholders and Business, for which 300 examples were scanned to select the strongest 15 case studies.
