French Short Course: Agence Paysanne pour Economies Rurales (Benin)<https://bit.ly/3REgDQz>

L'approche de FARE (Farmer Agency for Rural Economies) commence par les agriculteurs, les exploitations familiales qui, ensemble, nourrissent 80% du monde. Paradoxalement, ceux-ci constituent aussi une grande partie de la population sous-alimentée.
Le cours Agence Paysanne pour Économies Rurales s'appuie sur la même approche que celle que nous appliquons aux projets :
✅ Écouter les agriculteurs et les autres acteurs locaux
✅ Comprendre leurs objectifs et leurs ressources
✅ Prêter attention à l'esprit entrepreneurial des producteurs agricoles et à leurs organisations
✅ Améliorer la production et la qualité
✅ Explorer les possibilités de développement de la chaîne et de meilleures relations commerciales
✅ Établir une coopération entre les agriculteurs et les autres parties prenantes

The blended course ‘Rural Entrepreneurship Africa’ helps to:
✅ Strengthen your capacity to promote rural wealth creation
✅ Strengthen your competence in the area of market access of micro entrepreneurs
✅ Have the ability to identify pro-poor, smallholder inclusive and/or gender-friendly agribusiness development opportunities

✅Be able to apply the tools that support private sector driven innovations in agri-food value chains
