Each village selected a volunteer Agricultural Leader to receive extra training from myAgro so they could provide advice to farmers. They commit to following up on everyone’s fields within the week, problem solving together with farmers and the myAgro business associate and ensure farmers have all the right tools before going to the farm. In the picture above, Agricultural Leaders from different villages are presenting and discussing various key indicators, such as number of farmers who followed our training, number of farmers who need to weed, number of farmers who will plant – all in Bambara, the local language.
The Agricultural Leaders are key partners in our work with myAgro farmers. Because they know the farmers well, they can be great convincers and their presence in farmers’ fields has increased the planting quality all around.
