Partnership Farming
Definition: Partnership Farming is an approach
which promotes sustainable agriculture and
contributes to improved agricultural capacity
necessary to access domestic quality and
international markets
Whats new: The most innovative aspect of
Partnership Farming is that it is not commodity
specific, enabling farmers to be self-sufficient
decision-makers which allows for a more
flexible production system
