SELF-SUPPORTED SUBSISTENT FARMERS CONSORTIUM INITIATIVE

The self-supported subsistent farmers consortium initiative is a strategy that seeks to bring subsistent famers together and support then to make maximum use of their potentials, opportunities and resources. Over 70% of Rural African Farmers are engaged in subsistent farming. Among the major challenges faced by such farmers are; Lack of seed capital or labor, lack of modern farming technologies and equipments, lack of access to market, post harvest losses and "unavailability" of land. Most of these challenges can be managed at the local levels, to a large extent, using effective collaborative, fellow-feeling and communicative strategies. There is large untapped labor, useful indigenous and modern technologies and market opportunities within the African communities that should be identified and developed for the benefit of the local communities. This initiative is good and unique as it makes the farmers less dependent on foreign or external supports which are often expensive and unsustainable. The main objectives of the initiative are; Help famers to identify their available potentials and resources, improve upon them and make maximum use of them. Help farmers to develop already known or useful traditional farming techniques and strategies. Help farmers to identify available support and potentials within their locality and access them. Create a platform for farmers to share ideas and resources, discuss challenges and device strategies to solving them. Help the farmers to enter into symbiotic associations Help farmers to collaborate to create bigger and more profitable market opportunities. Link farmers with appropriate partners and support groups.  View
