Description CSR investments on agriculture are significantly under-represented. Yet these investments are
key to ensuring food security, overcoming hunger and protecting the environment. Rural
communities also have the highest levels of poverty and malnutrition. Bringing prosperity and
sustainability to rural areas hinges on making agriculture profitable. Improved livelihoods in rural
areas have shown to lead to increased spending on education and health care, connecting
agricultural development with a more holistic solution.
The approach to agricultural development needs to be community driven, tackling initially the
community's top priorities and identifying the low hanging fruit to achieve early impacts. These
efforts will build trust in the community which can then be built on with more interventions
across the whole agriculture value chain. Interventions need to be science-backed. In developing
these solutions, sustainable models that are market-driven and valued are important. Cross
cutting to the whole approach is the inclusiveness, engaging the required partners,
communications and the monitoring and evaluation.
