The project began in January 2014 with the following objectives: (1) Create and strengthen linkages between universities, farming communities and other stakeholders to improve service delivery and market access (2) Develop a framework for farmers’ interaction with key stakeholders to obtain appropriate solutions using novel approaches such as mobile-based technologies (3) Implement experiential learning (attachment on small holder farms) for undergraduate students so as to equip them with practical agricultural advisory knowledge. (4) Contribute to transformation of small scale agriculture from subsistence to commercial farming Post graduate students at masters’ level have been involved to study dynamics of farmer linkages with other stakeholders and development of a sustainable framework for such linkages.
