Farmer-led enterprises empower farmers to take control of their agricultural activities by transforming them from traditional producers to entrepreneurs. This approach focuses on developing value-added products, improving supply chain efficiency, and expanding market access for farmers. By forming cooperatives or small businesses, farmers can pool resources, share knowledge, and increase their bargaining power in the marketplace. Farmer-led enterprises also enable farmers to diversify their income by branching into non-farm activities like agritourism or food processing. This model encourages innovation, sustainability, and resilience, offering farmers a pathway to improve their livelihoods while contributing to local economies and food security.
