Everyone deserves access to nutritious, sustainable meals. In Kano State, Nigeria, TechnoServe is helping make that a reality. Partnering with the Ministry of Education, we hosted a sensory evaluation and sensitization session to explore the benefits of Parboiled Unpolished Rice (PUR) for school feeding programs. ?? Why PUR? It’s a locally grown, nutritious grain with the potential to strengthen food systems, support farmers, and improve student well-being. Stakeholders—from school principals to government officials—tasted PUR recipes, shared positive feedback, and pledged their support for policy-level integration. ?? This is the power of public-private collaboration to drive inclusive, lasting impact. #FoodSecurity #Nutrition #PublicPrivatePartnership #Nigeria #EducationInnovation #TechnoServeImpact

Did you know, nearly 50% of self-employed farmers in India are women? Despite their significant contributions, they often face limited access to resources and decision-making power in agricultural supply chains. TechnoServe India is working to change this by supporting over 30,000 smallholder women farmers with training, finance access, and market connections. The results have been remarkable. Hear the stories of these women who demonstrate how economic empowerment in agriculture creates ripple effects throughout entire communities. When women farmers succeed, they invest in their families, inspire other women, and strengthen local economies. https://hubs.li/Q03dBS7J0

We’re proud to share this insightful piece co-authored by our own Juan Carlos Thomas, TechnoServe's Vice President of Entrepreneurship and New Ventures. In TechnoServe's circular economy work across multiple countries, we've identified key market-wide challenges that hinder adoption, from fragmented supply chains to limited financial products tailored for circular businesses. As highlighted in our "Inclusive Loops" study, circularity reduces waste, unlocks new markets, cuts costs, and create competitive advantages for innovative businesses. The article features inspiring examples like Tamworld Company in Northern Ghana where agricultural waste is being transformed into income opportunities for 65+ people.
