In order to promote partnerships and collaboration, Ambuja Foundation has been creating platforms for brainstorming ideas and devising solutions to realise rural prosperity. One such event was a participatory dialogue 'Creating Synergies on Sustainable Production and Marketing Linkages' held in New Delhi on 23rd November 2017.
Key discussions focused on small and marginal farmers (a priority for Ambuja Foundation) and the event witnessed speakers and panelists from research, academia, advocacy, agricultural trading, farming, development, and corporate sectors. Over 100 participants heard a keynote address by Professor Sukhpal Singh (CRRID & IIM, Ahmedabad) and an expert address by Dr. S Wani (ICRISAT Development Centre).
"The next revolution in agriculture will be to create robust mechanisms to market the right produce at the right time," said Ambuja Foundation's CEO, Pearl Tiwari.
"There is tremendous potential for different stakeholders to collaborate and build capacities for farmers through sustainable models for joint procurement and marketing. Ambuja Foundation welcomes all forms of partnerships that will enable us to build on the collective strength of the farming community and help them prosper in life," she said.
To date, Ambuja Foundation has reached out to over 1.3 lakh farmers across India and facilitated the formation of 17 Farmer Producer Organisations.
