NEW: IFC and @Googleorg are working together to to bring digital tools, agricultural advice and financial services closer to smallholder farmers in six countries.
Explore the partnership's five priorities that contribute to @WorldBankGroup's #AgriConnect initiative.
IFC retweeted
Pleased to see @IFC_org joining forces with @Googleorg to help smallholder farmers in six countries access agricultural advice, financing and insurance through a single digital platform.
Smallholder farmers are vital to food security and rural livelihoods, yet too many lack the tools and resources they need to thrive. This initiative will help advance #AgriConnect’s goal of creating jobs and boosting food security.
