Learning farms that de-risk change
Rotating demo plots mirror local soil and rainfall profiles so farmers see regenerative techniques work before scaling them at home.

Focus areas
Each pathway braids together community priorities, regenerative science, and equity-centred design.
Women agripreneur cohorts
Peer mentors and stipends bring women into agronomy leadership, from input planning to produce marketing.
Soil & climate data loops
Mobile agronomists capture soil tests and microclimate observations to tailor advisories and document resilience gains.
How we partner
Long-term partnerships move through co-design, demonstration, and scale with continuous learning loops.
- 1
Co-create with village councils
Participatory planning maps seasonal risks, water access, and livelihood aspirations before training kicks off.
- 2
Season-long field school
Hands-on modules follow the crop cycle—from seed treatment and bio-input brewing to pest scouting and market prep.
- 3
Alumni support & micro-grants
Graduates access collective input buys, credit linkages, and women-led market platforms to keep momentum.
Outcomes we track
- Farmer scientists capable of diagnosing soil, pest, and water issues collaboratively.
- Chemical input reliance drops while soil organic matter and profitability rise.
- Women and youth emerge as trusted climate stewards in their communities.
“Before field school we waited for dealers to decide our crops. Now we test soils, plan rotations, and teach our neighbours.”
