Our Mission
At Agripreneur, we look for ways to break the generational cycle of poverty. We try to find village appropriate business ideas that can serve as “development ladders,” a way for famers to pull themselves out of this poverty cycle one rung at a time. A majority of our Board and advisors, and all of our volunteers, live within the communities of small-scale farmers that we serve, and work alongside them. As a result, our ideas for projects have often sprung from the minds of the farmers themselves, who have no shortage of ideas on how to generate additional income, but rather lack the necessary know-how and/or the resources required to implement their ideas.
At Agripreneur, we consider dozens of different projects each year, focusing on the ones that we believe are achievable by, and appropriate for, the small-scale farmer, are easily replicable, and will have the broadest possible impact. We discuss the selected projects with focus groups of the farmers before we adopt them and, where possible, we field test the projects within our own communities, in order to prove the concept works in a village setting before we invest significant capital. We strive to bring a data-driven business approach to each of our small rural projects.
