QUALITY INPUTS CHALLENGE; Botswana

PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED

Quality Agricultural Inputs

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

Peo-Boswa (Seeds of Heritage) by Temo Thuo Setho is an intervention that will provide quality millet and sorghum seeds and locally manufactured organic fertilizers to 100 farmers with farms of 2 hectares or less in the Chobe Enclave region.

Peo-Boswa will increase access to quality seeds and fertilizers through an agricultural pop-up shop distributing inputs to smallholder farmers. Local partnerships with reputable suppliers will provide a consistent inventory of top varieties of millet, sorghum, and organic fertilizers.

Their model hinges on effectively procuring and distributing quality inputs at scale.

PILOT AND SCALING GOALS

  • Directly reach 100 farmers within three months.

  • Distribute and enable access to quality indigenous seeds and fertilizers to remote community farmers.

  • Fundraise an additional $35000 from local stakeholders and new investors within three months.
