Addressing challenges faced by farmers for a Sustainable Future
Dadugba Cooperative primarily aims to tackle challenges faced by local farmers. They aim to empower farmers, strengthen communities, and contribute to achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
key challenges face by farmers:
• Limited market access and underpayment: Dadugba Cooperative provides fair trade markets, ensuring farmers get a fair price for their crops, reflecting their effort (SDG 1: No Poverty).
• Lack of training and restricted product focus: They offer educational programs on organic practices, business management, and financial literacy, enabling farmers to diversify into high-value, niche markets (SDG 4: Quality Education; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production).
• Inadequate infrastructure: While they can't directly address infrastructure issues, Dadugba Cooperative fosters supportive networks among farmers, potentially creating a stronger collective voice to advocate for improvements (SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals).
