The micro-farming sector is often overlooked sector in the push for a more sustainable future. At Agri-Thrive we believe that small, mighty entrepreneurs can be an important driving force behind a sustainable revolution. That’s why we’re taking action to support them. By joining forces, we can work together to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Our platform is designed to make progress possible. As we rewrite the rules of enterprise, we’re starting a new chapter in human development.
We believe Agri-Thrive can positively impact every aspect of the UN’s sustainability agenda. Below, we have identified the key areas in which we can be transformative, and where we’re actively working to change the game.
Women and girls represent a significant part of informal economy. Agri-Thrive is helping them overcome social and economic barriers, creating greater access to capital, markets and low-touch commerce, so they can work more safely and productively.
These are turbulent times for the global economy, with workers in informal employment, the self-employed, and daily wage earners being hit hardest. Agri-Thrive goes to the heart of this challenge, reaching the businesses no-one sees, while giving them the tools and funding they need to keep trading. It also gives governments the data required to reach the most vulnerable, as well as tracking the process of recovery.
Despite some positive signs of progress, inequality still persists in all forms. Agri-Thrive tackles these issues head-on, giving opportunity to those who are structurally shut out from the formal economy and its benefits. By rewriting the rules of enterprise, we are levelling the playing field, offering more people a more equal chance of success.
We are about action and not just words. As such we are aligned with the Principles for Responsible Investment, set out by the PRI in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and UN Global Compact.
