Many companies support farmers in their supply chains to strengthen the quality, reliability and sustainability of critical supplies. For example, by helping farmers improve their yields and reduce their costs. As companies and their partners explore how to do this most effectively, they are grappling with a number of specific questions: How can we most effectively enhance farmer livelihoods?
