Learn more about the Quality Inputs Challenge and why an evidence-based model that distributes high-quality seeds could reliably boost the standard of living for smallholder farmers.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Farmtorch improves access to timely, affordable and quality inputs for smallholder farmers on credit to improve productivity while facilitating market access.
Farmtorch’s model consists of lending smallholder farmers a comprehensive package of essential farming inputs such as seed and fertilizer, and delivering the package to rural access points in time while providing effective farmer training and market linkages through a robust network of Farmer Village Based Advisors or Agents (VBAs).
This is more than a mere transaction; it is a commitment to boosting productivity and cultivating sustainable growth. Thus Farmtorch is not just about farming only; it's about fostering a community-driven ecosystem where knowledge, resources, and support converge to empower the world's smallest farmers on the journey of growth, resilience, transformation and a sustainable future.
